Further supports may also be available through SEAI energy upgrade grants for improving the energy efficiency of residential units created. Interested parties should make their own enquiries with Dublin City Council and the relevant authorities to confirm eligibility and grant availability.

Town Planning / Zoning General principles regarding development in Key Urban Villages/urban villages are set out below. Proposals for development within these areas should be in accordance with these principles in addition to complying with the land-use zoning. • Mixed Use: Promote an increased density of mixed-use development including residential development with diversity in unit types and tenures capable of establishing long-term integrated communities. • Density: Ensure the establishment of higher density development capable of sustaining quality public transport systems and supporting local services and activities. Encourage the development/re-development of under-utilised sites and intensification of underutilised areas such as surface parking. Opportunity should be taken to use the levels above ground level for additional commercial/retail/services or residential use. • Transport: Ensure provision is made for quality public transport systems. Provide improved access to these systems and incorporate travel plans, which prioritise the primacy of pedestrian and cyclist movement and address the issue of parking facilities and parking overflow. Ensure that enhanced connectivity and permeability is promoted. • Commercial/Retail: Promote the creation of a vibrant retail and commercial core with animated streetscapes. A diversity of uses should be promoted to maintain vitality throughout the day and evening. • Community and Social Services: Encourage these centres to become the focal point for the integrated delivery of community and social services. • Employment: Encourage the provision of employment uses incorporating office, work hub, live-work units, professional and financial services and the creation of small start-up units. • Built Environment: Ensure the creation of high-quality, mixed-use urban districts with a high-quality public realm, distinctive spatial identity and coherent urban structure of interconnected streets and child-friendly, accessible public spaces and urban parks. Development should have regard to the existing urban form, scale and character and be consistent with the built heritage of the area. .Z4 - Permissible Uses Amusement/leisure complex, assisted living/retirement home, bed and breakfast, , buildings for the health, safety and welfare of the public, café/tearoom, car park, car trading, childcare facility,civic offices, community facility, cultural/recreational building and uses, craft centre/ craft shop, delicatessen, education, embassy office, enterprise centre, financial institution, garden centre/plant nursery, guesthouse, halting site, home-based economic activity, hostel (tourist), hotel, industry (light), live-work units, media-associated uses, medical and related consultants, mobility hub, motor sales showroom, office, off-licence, off-licence (part), open space, park and ride facility, petrol station, place of public worship, primary health care centre, public house, public service installation, recycling facility, residential, restaurant, science and technology-based industry, shop (district), shop (local), shop (neighbourhood), sports facility, take-away, training centre, veterinary surgery.
