This piece of land is one fo the few remaining areas not built up within the centre and is critical to wildlife and the character of the area around the river enjoyed by so many residents and visitors. I do not understand why a number of available brownfield sites are not being utilised instead as these would have significantly less environmental impact. The significant increase in dwellings and therefore people and cars will place considerable pressure on the existing infrastructure including roads and schools which are already full. There is also increased flood risk in the area and removing the natural environment will further erode the flood defences it provides and be likely to exasperate the issues.
