Stapolin Square | Baldoyle, Dublin 13

Stapolin Square is located east of Clongriffin Station in north Dublin, beside Clongriffin train station.

The site, comprising 18-hectares of land, was acquired by the LDA with existing planning permission for over 1,931 homes.

The overall plan for this project will also deliver a crèche, commercial units, new parks, transport facilities, and improved pedestrian and cycle links, a large central park with recreational, play, and fitness spaces, along with smaller pocket parks to enhance community amenities.

Given the scale and ambition of this development, it's divided into workstreams, with work underway concurrently on each.

Workstream 1 will move into consultation, pre planning and design phase in early 2026.

Workstream 2 will deliver much needed community facilities as well as new homes and the LDA is currently tendering for a construction partner.

Workstream 3 relates to improvements to the existing temporary access tower to Clongriffin Station.

This stage will deliver c.600 new homes overall and the redesign of Stapolin Square, a pedestrianised public space, so that it provides permanent universal access to Clongriffin Station.

It will include commercial and retail units, a crèche, a bus ramp connecting Stapolin to Clongriffin Station, and the removal of the existing temporary access to Clongriffin Station.

Consultation on pre planning design will be carried out in the first half of 2026, prior to planning lodgement.

This stage will deliver c.279 new homes alongside essential amenities and facilities designed to strengthen and support the growing community.

This will include the delivery of Haggard Park (1.5 ha) featuring a multi-use games area, a skate park, a playground, a fitness area, and scenic walking trails, delivery of pocket parks and a linear park and the construction of a new foul pump station.

A minor planning amendment has been submitted to regularise a boundary condition and this delivery is currently being tendered to identify a delivery partner.

This relates to improvements to the existing temporary access tower to Clongriffin Station, which is delivering improvements and upgrades to address issues with current access.

Improvements include enhanced security, clearer signage with contact details, prompt maintenance for reliable access, and revised operating hours. You can find out more on these improvements in this newsletter.
