Preparation of a new Local Area Plan for Kiltiernan/Glenamuck
Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council intends to prepare a new Local Area Plan for the Kiltiernan/Glenamuck area. The existing Kiltiernan/Glenamuck Local Area Plan 2013 is due to expire shortly.
A Local Area Plan is a statutory planning document prepared by the Local Authority in accordance with the requirements of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). A Local Area Plan consists of a suite of policies and objectives for an area, intended to guide the area’s development for a period of 6 years, which may be extended to a maximum of 10 years if appropriate.
Pre-Draft Public Consultation Stage
The plan-making process will involve up to three stages of public consultation: the Pre-Draft stage, the Draft Plan stage and, potentially, the Proposed Material Amendment’s stage.
The Local Authority is now engaging in the Pre-Draft public consultation stage. This involves engagement with the general public and a wide range of organisations and interest groups. Suggestions or observations are invited from anyone with an interest in the future development of the Kiltiernan / Glenamuck area.
Supporting Information
To help inform this consultation, the Planning Department has prepared a StoryMap which provides a context for the area and the plan-making process, and an Issues Paper with accompanying Maps and Figures which pulls together baseline information by way of a study of various themes relevant to the area. You are invited to consider this supporting information as it may help in framing your submission.
Public Information Sessions
To support effective and meaningful public participation at the Pre-Draft stage, the Local Authority will hold two public information sessions during the consultation period. The dates/times of the information sessions are as follows:
- Thursday 21st of September 2023 at Kilternan Centre, Enniskerry Road, D18 ET99 from 4.00p.m. - 8.00p.m.
- Wednesday 11th of October 2023 at Kilternan Centre, Enniskerry Road, D18 ET99 from 4.00p.m. - 8.00p.m.

Next Steps
The process and timeline for preparing a Local Area Plan is governed by the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). The stages and timeframes for the statutory plan-making process are illustrated in the graphic below.
The plan-making process may involve up to three stages of public consultation: the Pre-Draft stage, the Draft Plan stage and, potentially, the Proposed Material Amendment’s stage.
Following on from the Pre-Draft public consultation stage, a Draft Local Area Plan will be prepared, taking into consideration any submissions made during the consultation process. Once prepared, the Draft Local Area Plan will be placed on public display for a further period of public consultation.
Issues raised in submissions at the Draft stage, together with the Chief Executive’s recommendation will then be presented to the Elected Members for their consideration. This Report will also be published online. The Elected Members will then have six weeks to consider the Report and adopt, amend, or reject the Draft Local Area Plan.
If Material Alterations to the Draft Local Area Plan are proposed they must go on public display for a further period of not less than four weeks. The Elected Members would then have a further period of time to consider a Chief Executive’s Report on the proposed material alterations. The Plan would then be adopted with or without the material alterations.
