The Government has granted approval for a €186 million funding stream to assist in the building of 8,400 homes in a new town in west Dublin today.
The Clonburris Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) will be located between Lucan, Clondalkin, and Liffey Valley and it is around 10km from the city centre. In 2018, plans were approved for the scheme by South Dublin County Council and An Bord Pleanala that will see 8,437 homes built to house an estimated 23,000 people.
The development of the Clonburris SDZ, a wider project being led by South Dublin County Council, has the potential to be a transformative urban regeneration and development project of national, regional and local significance. The project will also include green areas and community facilities and public transport links.
