I fully support the decision by the elected officials to reject the proposal to rezone St. Edsmundsbury and support MA6.1.
This land should retain the high amenity zoning. It is a green belt along the River Liffey and home to much wildlife, many of whom are protected and breed on the land.
This land is one of the remaining open green, agricultural spaces along the Liffey Valley, home to established ecosystems and should be purchased by the state to safeguard it for future generations.
The lands include very old woodlands with mature oaks and beeches and include Protected Structures.
The land is adjacent to the Lucan Road which is already blocked daily with traffic heading to and through Lucan Village. This road can’t cope with any additional traffic.
