Hello Clean and Green
(2005) Last weeks Inish Times headline about planning permission being denied to build five houses on the beach at Fahan raised my spirits no end. When people get together to put forward objections about inconsiderate and environmentally damaging developments they can get positive results. The work of The Fahan Community Association will hopefully send a message to developers and planners that we here in Inishowen are fed up of our heritage being plundered for short-term financial gain. The Donegal Development Plan is in place to prevent such developments from eating away access to areas of beauty and also to protect the inhabitants of the area from being swamped by inappropriate developments. I would like to applaud the Fahan Community Association in their sterling work so far. The Association are well aware that they need to be very vigilant though over the coming months. No one likes to be told that they can’t do something and when money and egos are involved, feelings run high. I really hope that the Swilly Yacht Club members are honourable and accept the decision of the County Council Planners.
Yours trulyC. P.
Environmental.
