Approved Amendments to Cherrywood Planning Scheme

Amendments 1 - 4 - Decision issued by An Bord Pleanála to Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council in June 2017 under Section 170(A) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). These amendments arose from the introduction in December 2015 of the "Sustainable Urban Housing: Design Standards for New Apartments Guidelines for Planning Authorities". The application of the policy standards in these Guidelines resulted in inconsistencies within the approved Planning Scheme which required clarification and amendment. A proposed amendment was included in the submission for Amendments 1 - 4 and related to retail sequencing, which was subsequently withdrawn from the statutory process. The detail of the approved Amendments 1 - 4 may be accessed by clicking here or under the Related Documents on this page.

Amendment 5 was made in July 2018 to amend the Planning Scheme in relation to Chapter 7: Sequencing and Phasing of Development. The purpose of the Amendment is to accelerate the delivery of housing acknowledging the large scale of infrastructure of roads and public parks delivered to date in opening up lands for development .

Amendment 6 was made in October 2019 to amend the Scheme in relation to Residential Car Parking Standards (Section 4.2.10 of the Approved Planning Scheme 2018). The purpose of the proposed amendment is to update the Cherrywood SDZ Planning Scheme so as to align with Government Policy on housing and in particular to take cognisance of the updated ministerial guidance on car parking provision for apartment development as set out in the “Sustainable Urban Housing: Design Standards for New Apartments, Guidelines for Planning Authorities (March 2018)” as published by the Department of the Housing Planning and Local Government (DHPLG).
