Hansfield Strategic Development Zone

The Hansfield Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) comprises approximately 80.74 hectares of land in West Blanchardstown.

The site has also been designated for the establishment of a strategic development zone, taking into account the deficiency in the supply of housing, nationally and in the Greater Dublin Area particularly, the number and phasing of the housing units which would be developed by the inclusion of lands within a strategic development zone, the potential for comprehensive planning and development of the site due to it’s scale and configuration, the efficient use of public transport, water, waste water, and roads and that development of the site will help give effect to the policies in the Regional Planning Guidelines for the Greater Dublin Area for development within the Metropolitan Area.

The lands are to be developed primarily for residential purposes. The following are appropriate in the Strategic Development Zone:-

  • Residential
  • Schools
  • Rail Halt
  • Community and Neighbourhood Facilities.
  • Health and Childcare Services

An Bord Pleanála issued approval of the Hansfield Strategic Development Zone on 30th January 2006 and the scheme will provide for 3,000 residential units.
