Dublin City Council has reviewed the Scheme of Special Planning Control for O’Connell Street & Environs, which was approved in 2016. A number of changes to the earlier scheme are recommended and these have now been incorporated into a Draft Scheme of Special Planning Control for O’Connell Street & Environs 2022. This is being made available for public comment.
What is an SSPC ?
It is important that the architectural, historical, cultural and civic character of the O’Connell Street area is protected. The SSPC is a provision under the Planning and Development Act that allows for the setting out of objectives and development management measures to enhance the character of streets, protecting existing uses of special significance and discouraging less appropriate uses. In policy terms, this SSPC sits in the context of the Dublin City Development Plan, and the physical area covered by the Draft Scheme is identical to that of the O’Connell Street Architectural Conservation Area.
