OS zoning in Fingal: Open Space
OS is a zoning objective in the Fingal development plan (Open Space). The plan's objective: "Preserve and provide for open space and recreational amenities." 356 sites zoned OS have a public signal today.
Preserve and provide for open space and recreational amenities
Provide recreational and amenity resources for urban and rural populations subject to strict development controls. Only community facilities and other recreational uses will be considered and encouraged by the Planning Authority.
What you can build
The objective above sets the purpose of the zone. The Fingal Development Plan 2023–2029 lists, for each zone, the uses that are generally allowed and the uses the council will consider case by case. Check that table, and any local area plan, before you rely on OS (Open Space) for a project.
