"Re Four Districts Woodland Habitat Submission that this Area committee supports - The BCM Residents Association who would like to explore the potential of having the parcel of woodland adjacent to Rathcoole Park , becoming a natural amenity area for Rathcoole, Saggart, Newcastle and Brittas i.e. a regional amenity that would be unique to this part of South County Dublin. It will complement the existing and proposed park and play areas with the potential to become a tourist attraction and provide a link to the existing Slade Heritage Walk. The land in question is close to Swiftbrook (Saggart) Mill and Rathcoole Park ponds. This would be a prime location for school trips / tourism, and could provide a raw material source for local industry with the natural wood available." |
