A local area plan is crrently being developed for the Rathmichael area. This will substantially improve the local amenities. Rathmichael Road is one of the routes expected to be upgraded. As part of this development mains sewage and other modern infrastructure is likely to be installed..Overgrown Rathmichael Lane, adjacent to the property, is recognized as a green corridor which is likely to be retained as a walking/cycle path - providing significant screening from any new development.The field on the far side of Rathmichael Lane, is likely to be developed into housing and possibly a local area shopping, community and transport hub as outlined in the "10 minute community" development strategy..

The DLR 10-minute community is a planning concept by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council promoting a sustainable neighbourhood model where residents can access essential services and amenities such as shops, schools, parks, and employment opportunities within a 10-minute walk or cycle from their homes, or by using high-quality public transport. This approach aims to create liveable, walkable, and inclusive communities that reduce car dependency, enhance the quality of life, foster a strong sense of community, and contribute to climate resilience.
