•Description of the site is misleading - the site is far from scrubland, it is planted with semi mature conifer trees which with proper management would provide a continued haven for wildlife, contribute to bio diversity, lock away significant quantities of carbon. The trees provide a significant habitat to a diverse range of flora and fauna.
•There are no special circumstances brought forward by BMDC that would indicate that this Greenbelt site is needed, comments from your own appraisal also show there would be significant harm and major impacts the only conclusion should be to remove the site from the plan.
