The LDA would like to invite the community, stakeholders and other interested parties to view our detailed proposals (contained in the Phase C consultation PDF published on this web-page). We welcome the opportunity to liaise with you again on this project and look forward to receiving your comments and feedback (Please e-mail the Donore Project Community Liaison Office via community@donoreproject.ie).

A public webinar took place on Wednesday 26th January where the LDA, DCC and Project Design Team took attendees through the current detailed design proposals for the Donore Project, followed by a Question and Answer session. You can view a recording of the webinar further down this page..

All submissions, comments and feedback received during the Phase C Consultation will be collated and reflected upon by the LDA Project and Design Teams as we work towards Phase D of the project, where we expect to lodge a planning application in Q2, 2022. From submission of the application to the decision making authority, An Bord Pleanála, submissions or observations can be made by any interested party. The planning application details will be publicly notified, available for viewing online and at specified locations to support accessibility for all.

We will provide further updates on the Donore Project on this website in due course.

Introduction / Recap

The Land Development Agency (LDA), in collaboration with Dublin City Council (DCC) as the landowners, has published herein detailed design proposals for the development of the ‘Donore Project’ (working title) site, formerly known as St. Teresa’s Gardens. The Donore Project will operate within the parameters of the City Development Plan and Framework Plan for the area. The LDA and DCC consultation document below is solely related to the Donore Project, and for further information on the adjacent Hines developments for the Bailey Gibson or Player Wills lands please visit https://bgpwproject.com/.

Working closely with the key stakeholders, including the St Teresa’s Gardens Regeneration Board and the local community, the LDA aim to deliver a mix of social and affordable homes opening a new chapter for this diverse and historic area of Dublin City.

Consultation Phase A (Initial Communication) and Phase B (Concept Proposal) were completed during 2021. The earlier engagement stages focused on the emerging project designs at a stage when everything was at an early stage of assessment. The Project Team have since reflected on the feedback and comments received during these earlier consultations, and used this experience to address the observations where possible in the current Phase C Consultation (Detailed Design).

The present engagement phase will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to gain an understanding from the Project Design Team on the planning and design rationale for the detailed proposals. The community, stakeholders and other interested parties can provide comments and feedback via the Community Liaison Office’s email address; community@donoreproject.ie. There is an FAQ section on this website also, while a recording of the recent “Phase C Public Webinar” is available for viewing, below.

In order to move towards the planning application lodgement stage of the project (Phase D), the Project Design Team will carefully reflect on any feedback received together with continued pursuit of the four key principles guiding the project design; A Sustainable Neighbourhood, A Connected Place, Integrating, and Building Community.

Consultation Phase B – Concept Proposal

This phase involves engagement on the emerging project designs at a stage when everything is not yet locked into place. The Project Team have developed an information pack which seeks to address the observations raised at Phase A while also providing an update on the design development of the scheme.

This engagement phase will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to engage with Concept Proposals for the Donore Project element of the overall masterplan. Key activities will include a series of webinars, workshops and conversations where early ideas, sketches and concepts will be explored. Stakeholder feedback can be submitted at these forums or via the Community Liaison Officer’s email address; community@donoreproject.ie.

Feedback provided in Phase B will inform the detailed design proposals which will be shared with our community stakeholders as part of Consultation Phase C in Q3 2021. At Phase 3 views and more detailed drawings will be available, this material is currently being developed in parallel with the progression of the design. Stakeholder commentary combined with the four key principles will guide the design where possible; A Sustainable Neighbourhood, A Connected Place, Integrating, Building Community.
