South Dublin County Council · Adjourned Special Meeting to consider proposed Variation No. 2 South Dublin County Development Plan 2022-2028 · 24 June 2026
A vote on a motion to remove the designation of Adamstown South and West, Lucan, as a Future Strategic Development Area.
Summary written by AI from the minutes. The motion as recorded follows.
Amendment No. 17 Adamstown South and West, Lucan That the Council remove the designation of Adamstown South & West as a Future Strategic Development Area. Reasons: - no evidence has been presented demonstrating that existing zoned and serviced lands are insufficient to meet housing requirements; - despite SDCC saying this is not necessarily residential rezoning at present, if preparatory work is carried out to support potential future development and rezoning, the rural nature of the land is forever altered. - the lands perform an important strategic role in landscape protection, ecological connectivity and settlement separation; - public consultation identified significant concerns regarding cumulative growth, infrastructure deficits and the loss of strategic green buffers; - designation of the lands as a future growth area is premature while major strategic growth areas remain incomplete.
Proposed by H. Farrell; seconded by L. O’ Toole.
