KWAG welcomes corrections of factual errors on this site

KWAG supports development at Kilmardinny, but in accordance with the democratically agreed Local Plan.

The Local Plan sanctions limited release of greenbelt at Kilmardinny to achieve community benefits. This proposal takes much more greenbelt and is severely detrimental to the area.
