This site appears to be an obvious choice for building as it is a brownfield site. However as it has rewilded it has become one of the richest wildlife habitats in the village, edged with hedges, trees and a beck. Building even one house on this site would damage it irreparably. The noise and disturbance of the building process would destroy much of the habitat. The impact of building spreads further than the actual building site.
Road access is a major issue. Road safety for pedestrians is also a factor as many families use Back Beck Lane as their walking route to the primary school.
