Zoning Contravention
The site is zoned NC for mixed-use neighbourhood centre facilities. Change of use to residential is not supported under this zoning objective and would contravene development plan policies.
Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan 2016-2022, Zoning Objective NCThe site is subject to zoning Objective 'NC' - 'To protect, provide for and-or improve mixed-use neighbourhood centre facilities'... Change of use to residential is not supported under this zoning objective.
Residential Amenity
