- SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022-2028428Implementation and Monitoring ( IM) High Amenity Dodder Valley (HA-DV) To protect and enhance the outstanding character and amenity of the Dodder Valley Open Space (OS) To preserve and provide for open space and recreational amenities Rural and Agriculture (RU) To protect and improve rural amenity and to provide for the development of agriculture 12.2.1 Land-Use Zoning Tables Land Use Zoning Tables are incorporated into this written statement to provide guidance in relation to the general appropriateness of particular development types or land uses in each land use zone. These tables are for guidance only. Development proposals will also be assessed against the policies, objectives, standards and criteria set out in the Plan, in addition to wider legislation and guidance. A definition of use classes is included in Appendix 6 of this Plan. The use classes and definitions listed are intended as general guidance and are not exhaustive. (i) Permitted in Principle Land uses that are listed as ‘permitted in principle’ in the land use zoning tables are considered to be generally acceptable, subject to further assessment against the relevant policies, objectives and standards set out under this Plan. (ii) Open for Consideration Land uses that are listed as ‘open for consideration’ in the land use zoning tables may be acceptable to the Planning Authority subject to detailed assessment against the principles of proper planning and sustainable development, and the relevant policies, objectives and standards set out in this Plan. Proposed uses in this category will be subject to full assessment on their own merits and particularly in relation to their impact on the development of the County at a strategic and a local level. Such uses may only be permitted where they do not materially conflict with other aspects of the County Development Plan. (iii) Not Permitted Land uses that are listed as ‘not permitted’ under each of the zoning objectives are considered not to be acceptable. Each use listed under this category would not, therefore, be favourably considered by the Planning Authority. (iv) Transitional Areas Abrupt transitions in scale and use should be avoided adjacent to the boundary of land use zones. Development proposals in transition areas should seek to avoid development that would be detrimental to the amenities of the contiguous zone. For example, regard should be had to the use, scale and density of development proposals in zones abutting residential or rural areas in order to protect residential or rural amenity, as appropriate.
- SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022-2028429Implementation and Monitoring ( IM) (v) Other Uses Uses that have not been listed under the land use zoning tables will be considered on a case-by-case basis in relation to conformity with the relevant policies, objectives and standards contained within the Plan, particularly in relation to the zoning objective of the subject site and its impact on the development of the County at a strategic and local level. (vi) Non-Conforming Uses There are instances throughout the County where land uses do not conform with the zoning objective of a site. These include instances where such uses: 1. were in existence on 1st October 1964 (that is, prior to planning legislation), or 2. have valid permission, or 3. have no permission and may or may not be the subject of enforcement proceedings. Development proposals that relate to uses referred to under categories 1 and 2 above, particularly those that would intensify non-conforming uses, will be permitted only where the proposed development would not be detrimental to the amenities of the surrounding area and would accord with the principles of proper planning and sustainable development. This includes the integration of land use and transport planning.
