Representation Summary:

Green Belt - major impact on openness and landscape, would greatly reduce vital part of everyday community life for residents and visitors, lost benefits of exercise, health, rest, relaxation and mental wellbeing. This area has only recently lost a swathe of green belt to a new development and this proposal seeks to remove the remainder of green area which would have a disastrous effect on the community and environment and biodiversity.

Biodiversity/Flora and Fauna – Area contains high number of biodiversity designations and home to rare species of birds, insects, flora and fauna. Development would remove key survival habitats for all.

Environment, Traffic and Accessibility – increase to already heavy traffic at peak times will have a detrimental effect to pollution, traffic congestion and wildlife.

Flooding – Area prone to flooding.
