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 frameworks’ are set out within the Draft Local Area plan that provide site specific parameters for future development.
All proposed development is subject to assessment by way of a planning application.
The Dundrum Local Area Plan was informed by an Area Based Transport Assessment (ABTA).
A number of the ABTA recommendations have been incorporated into the Draft LAP in the form of objectives that will facilitate future improvements to public transport, pedestrian movement, cycling provision and the road network in the area.
