The Land Development Agency (LDA) has launched a public consultation and stakeholder engagement process on the proposed delivery of 2,000 on State-owned land in Clongriffin, north Dublin.

Subject to planning approval, Clongriffin Central will comprise apartments and new green spaces in addition to retail outlets and new community facilities and amenities. 

The site is located at the northern edge of Dublin 13, next to Clongriffin train station and existing retail facilities, and was acquired by the LDA in late 2023.

In March of this year, the LDA also acquired an adjacent site in Stapolin in Baldoyle with the potential to deliver a further 1,900 homes. 

The two sites are located either side of the Dublin to Belfast railway line and provide an opportunity for the LDA to deliver an estimated total of over 4,000 homes. 

A new 'vision document' has been created by the LDA and architects Henry J Lyons in consultation with Dublin City Council.

The LDA has invited members of the public and stakeholders to provide feedback on the proposal.

Construction work has already begun on the first phase delivery of of 408 apartments as well as a new creche, public park and cultural spaces in Clongriffin Central.

The vision document includes proposals for the remainder of the site and the LDA intends to make further planning applications later this year.   

The document can be viewed on the Clongriffin Central website, and a series of drop-in clinics and meetings will also be arranged to facilitate engagement from local residents, community groups, businesses and elected representatives.

As well as the website, printed booklets will be distributed at the drop-in clinics to clearly communicate the vision for the future residents in this area. 

“I am delighted to see the launch of this vision document outlining the LDA’s  ambitious proposals for a sustainable community and affordable homes at Clongriffin," said Phelim O'Neill, director of development at the LDA.

"We have engaged architects Henry J Lyons to plan and design a new high quality and sustainable residential development with social and commercial amenities that will cater for existing residents, future residents and visitors.

“The LDA values the local community’s engagement and feedback, and I am actively encouraging local residents, businesses and community groups to contribute to this important process as we strive to deliver a development that meets the needs of the area.

"The LDA will also continue to work with Dublin City Council on the project.”
