Reference Use Specific Zoning Objective
I Agricultural
T General Development
T1 General Development
To retain and protect agricultural uses.
The purpose of this zoning is to ensure the retention of
agricultural uses and to protect them from urban sprawl
and ribbon development. Uses which are directly associated
with agriculture or which would not interfere with
this use are open for consideration. This includes limited
housing for members of landowners’ families or persons
who can demonstrate a need to live in the agriculture
zone, tourism related projects and amenity uses such as
playing fields or parks. Any future development on lands
must have regard to the proximity of designated sites.
To provide for general development
This zoning provides for a mixed range of uses. The
provisions of the Transitional Zoning referred to below are
particularly relevant in this zoning where potentially
incompatible uses are proposed adjacent to each other.

Due to site access constraints ‘assisted living’ units are not
permitted in this zoning.
Given the location of lands zoned ‘T1’ in relation to the
wastewater treatment plant to the south east, the
footprint of any proposed developments will only be
considered in the vicinity of the Liffey Valley House Hotel
or to the south west of the site in the area north of the
existing dwelling units to the north of Mill Lane.
Development on lands zoned ‘T1’ shall have due regard to
the preservation of amenities in the area and shall be
appropriate in scale and form having regard to the
sensitive location of the lands.
