MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO.12

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the Chief Executive to provide a list of areas zoned for Economic, Enterprise, and Trade in the Lucan area and to include a map outlining these zones.

REPLY:

The County Development Plan includes maps which identify all areas with their zoning in the County. These maps are available online as pdfs, link:  Land Use Zoning Maps - SDCC , and as an interactive map link: Adopted Development Plan, allowing the viewer to switch on and off different layers and to zoom in and out of the map. These are all publicly available through the links above.

There is one primary zoning for employment where that is typically industrial in business parks or industrial parks, that is the EE (Employment and Enterprise) zoning. This zoning is represented by a light purple colour on the map as shown in the legend and in the Lucan area is primarily concentrated around the Grange Castle lands with some in Lucan Village at the old Hills Mills site along the Liffey.

Mixed use zonings such as village centre, local centre, town centre, and district centres are distributed throughout the Lucan area and are identified in the retail hierarchy set out in Chapter 9 of the CDP in Table 9.2 -  SDCC_FINAL_EN_Chapter_9.indd . These mixed use areas also facilitate employment, typically retail and services.
