I wish to support the retention of St Edmundsbury as high amenity lands. The long term preservation of this unique Liffey Valley heritage site in an increasingly developed area is a crucial tool to preserve and enhance our climate friendly aspirations to protect our future population both human and wildlife. To develop these lands would be tantamount to cutting off the vital air/blood supply needed for a biodiverse climate. The National Planning Framework supports this approach to planning and as a local resident I hope those in a position to uphold this retention have the courage to invest in our future
