Dublin City Council has completed a statutory rezoning process at a Special Council Meeting on Monday, 22 June, paving the way for up to 25,000 additional homes across the city.

The decision concludes proceedings that began in October 2025 and followed a series of public consultations involving stakeholders, with the objective of supporting housing growth in Dublin through to 2032.

According to the council, the move represents a strategic intervention aligned with the National Planning Framework Implementation: Housing Growth Requirements, ensuring growth is delivered as sustainable, liveable and resilient communities. The rezonings are intended to balance ambition with deliverability while shaping the city’s long-term form and function.
