Community Development

A Sustainable Resilient  Innovative Community

Ensure that the built environment, both past and present, and in the future, serves the sustainable well-being of all the people of Drimnagh.

Dynamic Drimnagh actively engages with Dublin City Council, An Bord Pleanála, and developers to redress historical underinvestment in services and community infrastructure. We promote sustainable environmental development in accordance with Drimnagh’s sociological needs. 

  1. Engage positively with ongoing developments to address the historical underinvestment in services and community infrastructure in Drimnagh while promoting sustainable environmental and sociological progress.

  2. Collaborate with residents’ associations, and environmental, and community groups to understand the impacts of development plans, raise concerns, and identify community benefits associated with these developments.

  3. Partner with third party investors to plan future developments in Drimnagh, highlighting the community’s underdeveloped needs, particularly in light of its growing population. Prioritise infrastructure for health, welfare, community, cultural, and sports groups on public lands before future state housing projects.

  4. Focus on Community-Centered Development, addressing housing, planning, and safety by monitoring, advising, and collaborating with developers and the Planning Authority on changes to the community’s physical infrastructure.

  5. Consider the physical scale and impact of developments, ensuring a balanced mix of social, cost-rental, affordable, built-to-rent, and purchase options that support a diverse mix of professional and social residents.

  6. Be mindful of future development and transport routes through and into Drimnagh, ensuring planning supports connectivity and accessibility.

  7. Address footpath parking that poses significant health and safety risks to residents.

  8. Commission a Mobility Plan (Strategic Traffic Management Plan) to identify the most suitable transport options for Drimnagh in the future, prioritizing mobility and sustainability.

  9. Ensure that environmental studies are conducted for all planned developments to safeguard ecological concerns.

  10. Develop a protocol with Dublin City Council (DCC) to ensure that community consultation through the Dynamic Drimnagh becomes a required condition for planning approval.
