Local area plans, LAPs, are in significant demand in Dublin city’s development area. I understand ten or 11 areas have been identified for LAPs. In reality, Dublin City Council does not have the resources to carry out 11 LAPs over the lifetime of the current five-year plan. Will Mr. Hogan outline what will replace an LAP and how it will benefit the process and perhaps meet some of the demands from communities to have an input in planning now, rather than waiting for each development plan to be set through an LAP?
