In 2013 and 2014, Dublin City Council drew up a plan for the Dublin Docklands – a Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) that spreads out along both sides of the Liffey, over the North Lotts and Grand Canal Dock.
It said there should be a 50:50 balance between office and residential accommodation, but certain councillors are starting to voice their concerns. “I think the planning department within the city council needs to take a more critical look at the planning applications coming in and how they comply with the Docklands SDZ” said Fine Gael Councillor Ray McAdam.
Certain people believe that office development is currently far outweighing residential accommodation and the debate is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. For more information about developments in the Dublin Dockland’s, read the article here.
