NOTICE OF PROPOSED VARIATION NO. 2 OF THE DUBLIN CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022 – 2028

Notice is hereby given pursuant to Section 13 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, that Dublin City Council, being the Planning Authority for Dublin City, has prepared a Proposed Variation of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 in respect of the following:

Proposed Variation No. 2 - Lands adjacent to Dublin City University (DCU) Glasnevin Campus and Albert College Park, Glasnevin, Dublin 9

It is proposed to vary the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028, by changing the land use zoning objective of lands adjacent to Dublin City University (DCU) Glasnevin Campus and Albert College Park, Glasnevin, Dublin 9.

From:    Zoning Objective Z12 – ‘Institutional Land (Future Development Potential)’ - To ensure existing environmental amenities are protected in the predominantly residential future use of these lands.’

To:          Zoning Objective Z15: Community and Social Infrastructure‘To protect and provide for community uses and social infrastructure.’

Reason: A request for a change of zoning under the Residential Zoned Land Tax (RZLT) process demonstrated that the lands are required for the expansion of the DCU campus.  Changing the land use zoning on the lands to Z15 (Community and Social Infrastructure) would be consistent with the existing adjoining University land use zoning and would allow for the future planned sustainable expansion of the campus at this location.

A copy of the Proposed Variations, together with the Strategic Environmental Assessment and Appropriate Assessment Screening Reports and Strategic Flood Risk Assessments may be inspected for a period from Thursday 5th October to Thursday 2nd November 2023 inclusive at the following locations:
