I fully support MA3.1 to remove the proposal to rezone Finnstown Castle lands.

This should be a high amenity area as there has been significant development to surrounding lands. This land acts as the lungs to this largely developed area providing a much needed green buffer.

Previous planning applications relating to the grounds of Finnstown Castle were refused by SDCC and An Board Pleanala because it would cause a negative visual impact on the protected structure, its setting and it curtilage. This was for a single property, 1,000 as proposed would do untold damage as well as add to the already struggling road infrastructure and services.
