The Royal canal green area setback / buffer zone to be set at 30 metres. That minimum area is required to establish a meaningful and effective area to offer a minmum level of protection to wildlife and the biodiversity there.
We need to take these matters seriously if we are to have any chance of saving the little biodiversity left in this part of Fingal . To date we have largely allowed developers to run a coach and horses through protecting our environment. There are many, many examples in Dublin 15 where this has already occured. Act now, act effectively.
Change councilpolicy of passive management of green spaces to an active management ethos...plant native species, plant more...protect those areas we have..enforce our laws to deter those who have little or no regard for our environment.
I support FIN - C453- 260 with regard to the Royal canal input.
There is substantial pressure to impinge upon the Liffey Valley SAO...This pressure needs to be resisted at all costs..We have sufficiently zoned lands in Fingal to meet exisitng housing demands for this area...others are required to act to deliver those lands for housing..we do not need a manufactured crises to abandon forever our most precious biodiverse resource in South Fingal, the Liffey Valley.
