NOTICE OF PROPOSED VARIATION No.'s 6 & 7 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 two Proposed Variations of the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 in respect of the following:
Proposed Variation No. 7: Lands at 16 - 23 Bow Lane West, Dublin 8:
It is proposed to vary the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028, by changing the land use zoning objective of lands at 16 – 23 Bow Lane West, Dublin 8
From: Zoning Objective Z1 ‘Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods’ - To protect, provide and improve residential amenities.
To: Zoning Objective Z15 ‘Community and Social Infrastructure’ - To protect and provide for community uses and social infrastructure.
Reason: 16-23 Bow Lane West is zoned Z1 (Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods) in the current Dublin City Development Plan. To better reflect and support the operational use associated with St. James’s Hospital at this location and having regard to the scale and context of the building, the range of hospital related activities carried out, the proximity of the site to St. James’s Hospital and the Z15 zoned lands on the opposite side of Bow Lane West, it is proposed to vary the zoning at 16-23 Bow Lane West from Z1 to Z15.
A copy of the Proposed Variation, together with the Strategic Environmental Assessment and Appropriate Assessment Screening Reports and Strategic Flood Risk Assessments may be inspected for a period from 4th September 2025 to 3rd October 2025 inclusive at the following locations:
At Dublin City Council Civic Offices, Ground Floor, Block 4, Wood Quay, Dublin 8 during public opening hours, Monday – Friday 9.00am to 4.30pm.
At Dublin City Council:
South Central Area Office, Eblana House, Marrowbone Lane, Dublin 8, Monday to Friday between the hours of 9.30 am and 1.00 pm.
Written observations or submissions regarding the Proposed Variations are invited from members of the public and all other interested parties during the period 4th September 2025 to 3rd October 2025, inclusive. Individuals, groups, organisations or representatives, as well as children, or groups or associations representing the interests of children, are also entitled to make submissions or observations.
The Planning process is an open and public one and, in that context, all documents are made available for public inspection. All submissions and observations will be published online but your address will not be published. You are responsible for ensuring that no vexatious, libellous or confidential information, including information relating to a third party (in respect of which the third party has not, expressly, or impliedly in the circumstances, consented to its disclosure) is included in your submission or observation or part thereof. The Planning Authority reserves the right to redact any submission or observation that does not comply with this requirement.
All submissions or observations received with respect to the proposed Variations made to the Planning Authority up to and including the 3rd October 2025 will be taken into consideration before the making of the Proposed Variation.
