2.6 - Retail Strategy

The Retail Strategy for Dublin City is to consolidate the city centre retail core as the premier retail destination in the State, to promote and consolidate the role of the Key Urban Villages with a level of retail development commensurate to the catchment to cater for surrounding communities. Below this tier, the strategy provides for daily shopping needs and local services for a residential community in urban villages. This approach reflects the settlement strategy for the city and is consistent with the Retail Planning Guidelines (DoECLG, 2012) and the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES), Eastern and Midland Regional Assembly (EMRA), 2019 (see Appendix 2: Retail Strategy)
