Higher densities, taller buildings and a new civic core are all part of the new district centre planned for Stillorgan in south Dublin as envisaged in the Stillorgan Local Area Plan (LAP), which has just been put out to public consultation. The LAP, which has statutory powers to govern all future development in the south Dublin village, has set a guideline height of up to five-storeys for the district centre of Stillorgan. It has also identified two areas along the N11 - roughly the Leisureplex site and the Blake's/Esmonde Motors sites - where heights of up to nine storeys will be permitted. The plan aims to address population decline in the village by reviving the heart of the village, enhancing the diversity of housing and promoting higher densities.
