South Dublin County Council is undertaking pre-draft consultation for a local area plan for Ballycullen – Oldcourt from Monday 15th April 2013 until Friday 10th May 2013 inclusive. This pre-draft consultation will ensure that local ideas will be heard and taken into consideration before a Draft Local Area Plan is drawn up at a later stage for further public consultation.
Consultation that was undertaken for the preparation of a plan for Oldcourt (western side of the proposed Plan Lands) in 2006 has been utilised to identify emerging issues. An expanded Local Area Plan (LAP) will allow for an updated assessment of the current situation for the entire area and the formulation of a series of responses that reflects changing economic and social circumstances.
Pre-draft consultation information for the Ballycullen – Oldcourt Local Area Plan will be made available to the public during normal opening hours (excluding public holidays) at the County Library and County Hall, Tallaght and at Whitechurch Library, Ballyboden.
Council staff will be available to answer general queries and provide guidance on the Pre-Draft Consultation at Quaker House, Stocking Lane at the following times:
Wednesday 24th April 4:00 - 7:00 pm
Thursday 25th April 1:00 - 4:00 pm
Tuesday 30th April 4:00 - 7:00 pm
Friday 3rd May 1:00 - 4:00 pm
Staff will also be available to provide general guidance and answer queries on the Pre-Draft Consultation every Wednesday afternoon between 2.00pm and 4.00pm at County Hall, Tallaght, during the public consultation period.

This will be accompanied by an Environmental Report prepared as part of a Strategic Environmental Assessment. The Draft Local Area Plan will also be subject to an Appropriate Assessment Screening under the Habitats Directive.
