2.3 THE NATIONAL SPATIAL STRATEGY FOR IRELAND The NSS was launched in November 2002, and sets out a vision for the spatial development of Ireland to 2020. It provides guidance for a range of Government policies as well as regional and local plans, with a view to delivering “…more balanced social, economic and physical development between regions.” For the Dublin region, the NSS highlights a number of key requirements of policy. Of particular relevance is the need to ensure “…a strong green structure that maintains the distinction between urban and rural areas, and provides a green setting for everyday living with opportunities for outdoor recreation within easy access.” The NSS further states that the continuing health of Dublin is critically dependant on “…protecting Dublin’s outstanding natural setting…surrounding rural hinterlands, river valleys like the Boyne and Liffey, and physical amenities such as parks.” A clear message emerging from the Strategy is the need to ensure that the sustainable growth of Dublin City does not encroach into the valuable hinterlands and surrounding counties. 2.4 REGIONAL PLANNING GUIDELINES FOR THE GREATER DUBLIN AREA Published in July 2004, the RPG for the Greater Dublin Area superseded the previous Strategic Planning Guidelines within the overall spatial vision established in the NSS. The spatial policy for the Greater Dublin Area reflects the policy requirements of the NSS, and in particular the need to protect the Liffey Valley. In relation to recreation and open space, the guidance to local authorities is to “…extend and enhance the existing open space network, secure landscape and biodiversity enhancement and improve access to the coast, river valleys and canals.” 2.5 DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL 22.55 . .. 11 DDuubb llii nn CCiittyy DDeevveelooppmmeenntt l PPlaann l 22000055 –– 2200 1111 The Dublin City Development Plan came into effect on 14 March 2005, and proposes “…a sustainable and vibrant city in the context of the strategy for the development of a Greater Dublin” focusing on creating a “…coherent and legible spatial structure”. Table 1 presents the key relevant development plan policies. In the Dublin City Area, much of the land to the north of the river is zoned “to preserve, provide and improve recreational amenity and open space”. Much of this is in the Phoenix Park, incorporating sports facilities and St Mary’s Hospital. Towards the eastern boundary of the city, land between the river and the Phoenix Park comprises existing residential areas and a small area zoned for mixed use development. This area is enclosed by a designated Framework Development Area (Chapelizod). Another Framework Development Area (Heuston Station and OFFICE OF PUBLIC WORKS ERM IRELAND Page 5
Environs) is located south of the river incorporating Clancy Barracks and land to the east. The objective of these is “to seek the social, economic and physical development and/or rejuvenation of an area with mixed use of which residential and “Z6” [Employment/Enterprise (light)] would be the predominant uses.” The entire of Phoenix Park is identified as a Conservation Area, along with land to the south of the river. In addition, the Park is a Zone of Archaeological Interest. OFFICE OF PUBLIC WORKS ERM IRELAND Page 6
