Planning: Rathmichael Local Area Plan - Pre-Draft Consultation

Closes 9 May 2025

Opened 4 Apr 2025

Overview

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council intends to prepare a Local Area Plan for the Rathmichael area.

Pre-Draft Public Consultation

The Local Authority is now engaging in the Pre-Draft public consultation stage. This involves engagement with the general public and a wide range of organisations and interest groups. Suggestions or observations are invited from anyone with an interest in the future development of the Rathmichael area.

Supporting Information

To help inform this consultation, the Planning Department has prepared a StoryMap which provides a context for the area and the plan-making process, and an Issues Paper which pulls together baseline information by way of a study of various themes relevant to the area. You are invited to consider this supporting information as it may help in framing your submission. 

The main webpage for the pre-draft consultation stage of the Rathmichael Local Area Plan can be found at: https://www.dlrcoco.ie/Rathmichael
