The framework, prepared by McGarry Nanaigh Architects, KCAP Architects & Planners and JMP Consultants, stretches from Newlands Cross eastwards towards the Dublin City Council boundary near the Kylemore Luas Stop.
The draft development framework has been published in accordance with Local Zoning Objective (LZO 5) of the South Dublin County Development Plan 2004-2010.
LZO 5 of the County Development Plan requires the preparation of a masterplan to facilitate appropriate high-quality mixed-use development - including offices and residential development - for the purpose of upgrading this major gateway corridor into the city.

The aim of the draft Naas Road Area Development Framework is to establish a basis for notable change.
One of the key purposes of the draft framework is to set out strategic objectives and priorities as guiding principles on land use, new road networks layout and the amount of potential development.
The key elements of the draft framework are the maintenance of the existing green belt between Clondalkin and Tallaght.
This includes the consolidation of most new development east of the M50, with mixed uses focused around the existing Red Cow Luas stop, a proposed new Luas stop between Red Cow and Kylemore as well as the creation of a new green corridor and new road links east of the M50.
A central element of the scheme is a change to the character of the Naas Road, especially from the existing Nangor Road/Long Mile Road junction in a citybound direction, the council said.
