Protection of woodland

    Is anyone interested in obtaining protection of a wooded area within an area zoned "low density housing" in the Monaghan County Council Draft Development Plan 2006-2012?

    The area concerned is Gallanagh Wood located within the townlands of Gallanagh and Mullaghdun, Monaghan, covers a significant area and contains many broadleaf trees of varying maturity.It is shown on original Ordnance Survey sheets but is not depicted in the Monaghan Town Zoning Map and no reference made to it.

    The land it is within has been sold to a developer recently for a high price so I fear they will just cut down all of the trees to cram as many houses on as possible.

    I've been in touch with the Heritage service, An Taisce, Crann and the National Parks and Wildlife service. An Taisce suggested I form an informal group and then approach a local councillor to attempt to get the development plan ammended.

    Is anyone interested in this? If so, please post here or send a PM.
