1.5 Population, Community and Housing

Kinsaley LAP Issues Paper
Closed31 May, 2018, 9:00am - 13 Jul, 2018, 11:59pm

 

Kinsaley is a ‘Rural Village’ located within the metropolitan area of Fingal County Council. The Council’s approach to these centres in the Development Plan is to ensure that they do not expand too rapidly in order not to put too much pressure on local services and the environment. It is also considered that rapid growth could create the potential for unsuitable travel patterns (car focused rather than walking, cycling, or public transport). The population of Kinsaley was estimated at 340 persons in 2017. However, recent development approvals may lead to significant future growth in the area. Community facilities within Kinsaley include temporary location of Malahide Portmarnock Educate Together School in Teagasc building, St. Nicholas of Myra Church and parish hall and St. Nicholas of Myra National School (outside of LAP boundary).
