A Local Area Plan does not contain development proposals, rather, it sets out policies and objectives to help guide any future development within an area.

A number of ‘site development frameworks’ are set out in Chapter 2 of the Draft Local Area plan that provide site specific parameters for future development.

Proposed development is subject to assessment by way of a planning application.

My house and garden is contained on the map. What is the consequence?
Your house and garden is identified on the map because it meets the criteria for the tax, which is based on residential led zonings and servicing by infrastructure suitable for provision of housing.  The house and garden are not liable for the tax, as long as the house is subject to Local Property Tax (LPT).

Do I need to make a submission?
While anyone may make a submission, it may not be necessary, as a home owner, to make a submission.  Even if your house is identified on the maps, residences shall not be chargeable to the Residential Zoned Land Tax.

What if my garden is greater than 0.4047ha (1 acre)?
If your garden is greater than this size, then you need to register for the RZLT with the Revenue Commissioners, however your house and garden will not be liable for the tax. You will be able to register for RZLT from late 2023 onwards. No action needs to be taken to register at this time.  Please see revenue.ie for details closer to the time.
