Poolbeg West
On the 17th May 2016 the government designated parts of the Dublin Docklands' area at North Lotts and Grand Canal Dock as a strategic development zone (SDZ). Dublin City Council (DCC), at its meeting on 2nd October 2017, decided by resolution to make the Poolbeg West Planning Scheme.
The planning scheme, together with modifications, was approved by An Bord Pleanála on 9th April 2019
The planning scheme, environmental statement and other supporting documents are available to download below.
Amendment to Poolbeg West Planning Scheme-2025
On 31st January 2025, An Bord Pleanála approved amendments to the planning scheme. These amendments were made to achieve consistency with Government policy, by removing text and graphic references to the Dublin Eastern Bypass (DEB) from the SDZ document as the DEB is no longer supported by the National Transport Authority’s, ‘Greater Dublin Area Transport Strategy, 2022-2042.’ The proposed amendments, as submitted by Dublin City Council to an Bord Pleanála, are available at the following link.
An Bord Pleanála’s final decision (31st January 2025) was as follows.
The decision approved the amendments proposed. Dublin City Council can now proceed to implement these amendments in assessing new development proposals within the SDZ
The approved planning scheme and environmental statement are also available for inspection at the following location and times:
