Design Guides, Strategies and Other Studies

A number of design guides, strategies and studies have been produced to provide additional guidance in relation to specific types of development that are located throughout the city.

Finglas Strategy

The Finglas Strategy is a non-statutory high-level study prepared by Dublin City Council’s (DCC) Planning and Property Development Department to address opportunities for urban regeneration and placemaking in the Finglas area. The Strategy provides an analysis of the existing environment and a framework for integrated, plan-led solutions. It sets out the context and rationale for recommendations for rezoning within a policy framework that supports brownfield consolidation and creates a policy platform to encourage urban regeneration. This Strategy is a background paper that articulates planning policy options for Finglas to inform the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028.
