NOTICE OF PROPOSED VARIATION NO. 4 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. 4 – SDRA 3 Finglas Village Environs and Jamestown Lands and incorporation of Jamestown Masterplan 2023 into the Development Plan by way of new appendix.

It is proposed to vary the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 to incorporate the recently approved Jamestown Masterplan 2023 regarding 43 hectares of Jamestown Industrial Estate lands at Jamestown Road, St Margaret's Road / McKee Avenue, Finglas, Dublin 11 by:

  • Deleting section B ‘Jamestown Lands’ of SDRA 3 and inserting new text referencing the approved Jamestown Masterplan 2023. 
  • Modification of Figure 13-3 to reflect the approved Jamestown Masterplan.
  • Incorporation of Jamestown Masterplan 2023 into the Development Plan by way of a new appendix.

Reason: The Jamestown Masterplan 2023 was approved by the elected members of Dublin City Council on 3 July 2023, made according to the requirements of SDRA 3 of the Development Plan 2022-2028. The approved Masterplan represents a detailed refinement of the SDRA 3 framework set out in the Development Plan for the Jamestown Lands, representing an urban design-led and evidence-based approach to the regeneration of this strategic land bank, capitalising on significant state investment in public transportation in accordance with national and regional policy objectives relating to compact and sustainable growth. Accordingly, it has the capacity to deliver new homes, create new and support existing jobs, along with the provision of associated community and educational uses, all underpinned by exemplary urban design principles. Proposed Variation No. 4 will provide full legal status to the Masterplan and provide an enhanced level of detail to inform a coordinated approach to the redevelopment of these lands.

Having regard to the provisions of the SEA Directive (2002/42/EC) and the provisions of Schedule 2A of the Planning and Development (Strategic Environmental Assessment) (SEA) Regulations 2004-2011 (the SEA Regulations), Dublin City Council as the Competent Authority has made a determination that proposed Variation No. 4 is not likely to have significant impacts on the environment. Therefore a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is not required.

Having regard to Article 6(3) of the Habitats Directive and the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended), Dublin City Council as the Competent Authority determines that the proposed variation, individually, and in combination with other plans and projects, does not have the potential to give rise to likely significant effects on the Special Conservation Interests / Qualifying Interests and their respective Conservation Objectives of any Natura 2000 site, and does not require an Appropriate Assessment.

A copy of the proposed variation, together with the accompanying Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Appropriate Assessment (AA) screening reports and determinations and Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA), are available for inspection for a period from Tuesday 7 November to Tuesday 5 December 2023 inclusive at the following locations:
