The South Dublin County Council Development Plan 2022 – 2028 will promote a greater variety and mix of dwelling types and dwelling sizes in all communities to promote a better mix of age groups and household formations within all communities including downsizing.

That this Development plan enshrines the concept of right sizing and aims to provide significant numbers of right sized accommodation during the period of the plan.
