COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 23, 2025

QUESTION NO.18

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

With the number of planning applications being submitted on the Clonburris lands and given the volume of residents contacting councillors for advice can the Chief Executive outline what services are available to assist the public in understanding these applications? Specifically, where can an ordinary resident go to ask questions or seek clarification on how a planning application may affect them other than through their local councillor.

REPLY:

In relation to the query raised, I can advise that members of the public can view all planning applications submitted in respect of the Clonburris Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) through the South Dublin County Council Planning Applications search portal. The online portal provides access to application documentation and allows members of the public to make formal submissions or observations within the statutory time period. Link to the portal: Planning Applications - SDCC

For ease of reference, the Council also provides an Interactive Planning Viewer, which enables residents to view the location and status of planning applications on a map based system.

In addition, a Development Status Map is available on the dedicated Clonburris SDZ website. This resource lists current permissions and references, with links back to the relevant planning application files, which can also be accessed through the Council’s planning application search facility. Link to the Development map: Granted Planning Permissions - Clonburris - Clonburris

Residents seeking clarification on how a particular application may affect them are encouraged to review the application documentation directly through these channels and, where appropriate, to make a submission to the Council as outlined above.
