Adopt an informed and positive approach to renewable energy proposals, having regard to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area, including community, environmental and landscape impacts and impacts on protected or designated heritage areas / structures.

There are many other biodiversity hotspots which are not designated and these also need to be protected from developments. Sites listed within the Bog of Allen Heritage Survey or Kildare Wetland Survey should also be incorporated and recognised within any development.

Please ammend to "Adopt an informed and positive approach to renewable energy proposals, having regard to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area, including community, environmental and landscape impacts and impacts on protected or designated heritage areas / structures. Protecting biodiversity and conservation of un-designated sites is also a priority".
