Cherrywood (Irish: Coill na Silíní) is one of Dublin's newest suburbs, withhin Loughlinstown, and bordering Rathmichael, to the south east of the city, in the County of Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown. In 2010, it is partly developed and many remaining planned developments will not proceed at this time.

Location

Cherrywood lies in between the M50 motorway and the N11 road, about a kilometer north of where they fork from the M11, and is divided by the R118 regional road which runs northeast to southwest through the area, crossing the N11 at Wyattville Road and joining the M50 at Junction 16. The Business Park (officially Cherrywood Science and Technology Park) lies south of this road and a residential zone to the north.

History

Cherrywood is being formed around the business park, in a deliberate process under a Cherrywood-Carrickmines Local Area Plan, the 2004 County Development Plan, and a related Cherrywood-Rathmichael Area Plan. At present, Cherrywood is designated as a District Centre, and strict limits apply to certain forms of development there.

It was proposed to extend the Sandyford (Green) Luas line to Cherrywood. Construction started in February 2007 and the line became operational in October 2010.[1] There are now two Luas stops in Cherrywood: Cherrywood and the terminus, Brides Glen.
