an evaluation of the impact of this development on Mount Merrion. Our initial reaction is that this is almost identical to the plans shown to the local community earlier this year and which has caused serious concern to almost all Mount Merrion residents due to the very negative impact such a massive development will have on the local environment, massive traffic increases, risks to children and general degradation of our amenities.
If you have any comments or questions related to this or the other major developments taking place locally we would like to hear from you.You can email us through the website.
Note: Final date for Observations is 27-June 2016
