As reported in OFF News, August 2024:
Friends of Glenlee (FoG) held its AGM on 25th July. This meeting reported on the activities of the association over the year, elected a new committee and endorsed changes to the FoG constitution, needed because of the sale of the property.
In his report to the AGM, President, Brian Ralston, stated that “the sale of Glenlee does not represent the end of FOG. The importance of Glenlee is now known by many and it is vital that we remain vigilant to ensure that the Council requires strict compliance with the existing order and monitors any development applications which may be lodged.”
A photo of a tree that was cut down at Glenlee was included in an update from FoG following the AGM. It confirms what was emphasised in their previous update, that continual vigilance is required to avoid wanton destruction on the site. What should also be highlighted is the possibility of future development ‘creep’, ie, even after development approval, there is a danger that amendments may be applied for, a common way of overdevelopment taking place.
