Sandyford Urban Framework Plan

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 Local Area plan that provide site specific parameters for future development.

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

The Local Area Plan documents can be viewed in full:

• on this webpage by expanding the 'Kiltiernan-Glenamuck Local Area Plan 2023' banner.
• In the Dundrum Council Offices Mon-Fri (except bank holidays) 9:30am to 12:30pm and 1:30pm to 4:30pm
• County Hall Mon-Fri (excluding Bank Holidays) between 10.00a.m and 4.00p.m.
• Upon request in any dlr library branch. Details of each library opening times are set out here.
