Boundary of the Draft Kiltiernan-Glenamuck Local Area Plan (KGLAP).

A Local Area Plan (LAP) consists of a suite of policies and objectives for an area, intended to guide that area’s development for a period of 6 years, which may be extended to a maximum of 10 years if appropriate. Like the ‘County Development Plan’ (CDP), which spans the entirety of Dún Laoghaire Rathdown, a LAP is a statutory planning document, but for a smaller, more focused area, and with greater detail.

A LAP must be consistent with the CDP and cannot contradict any of its policies or objectives.
