I Kim McCrave, strongly support retaining St. Edmundsbury as High Amenity lands.

St. Edmundsbury is a valuable natural space that supports wildlife, protects biodiversity, and provides an important green area for the local community. As development continues across Lucan, preserving the green spaces that remain is more important than ever. Once they are lost, they cannot be replaced.

Retaining St. Edmundsbury aligns with the National Planning Framework's goals of protecting biodiversity, strengthening green infrastructure, and supporting community wellbeing. It will help preserve Lucan's unique character and ensure future generations can continue to enjoy this important natural asset.

I respectfully urge South Dublin County Council to retain and protect St. Edmundsbury for the benefit of residents, wildlife, and future generations.

Thank you for considering my submission.
