The core strategy will be applied across all future area-specific plans, namely the city's 'Local Area Plans' and 'Schematic Masterplans'. These plans will contain specific guidance for the Key Developing Areas and Key District Centres identified in the core strategy map.

Local Area Plans will also be prepared for areas subject to large scale development within the lifetime of the plan.

Schedule of Local Area Plans/Statutory Plans:

1. North Fringe Review (LAP)
2. Ballymun Transboundary LAP
3. Pelletstown (LAP)
4. Park West / Cherry Orchard (LAP)
5. Docklands (DDDA Masterplan & Section 25s)
6. Heuston & Environs (LAP)
7. Grangegorman (SDZ)

A review will also be undertaken of a number of existing Framework Plans within the inner city and for areas of significant development capacity in the outer city. Two Local Area Plans, the Phibsboro/Mountjoy and the Liberties LAPs, were approved by the City Council in 2008 and 2009 respectively.

There are a number of area-specific non-statutory Framework Plans in the city approved for Development Management and guidance purposes.
