Motions
That the Chief Executive carries out a biodiversity survey of all the green areas of Woodstown estate, Knocklyon, including the triangular wilded area between Woodstown and Stocking Well estates, informing and supporting the work being done by the biodiversity committee set up by local residents after consultation with the Heritage Officer.
Application for Tree Preservation Order On behalf of residents in Scholarstown Park and Darglewood in Rathfarnham, I would like to apply for a Tree Preservation Order in relation to the chestnut tree on the green between Scholarstown Park and Darglewood, as per the attached photographs. This tree has been here for many years, it is cherished by the residents and adds greatly to the area in terms of its amenity value, aesthetics and from the point of view of biodiversity. There has been so much building in the area lately with the associated loss of trees and hedgerows which can only have an adverse knock on effect on our local environment. The residents are keen to protect and preserve this tree. I support the residents in this and would ask that it be made the subject of a Tree Preservation Order.
