We moved to the area (SH3/H) because of the local green space as we thought that would provide a good family environment and do not want to lose that. There are few open areas like this where children can play and Wycliffe is crucial for wellbeing, play and social activities. This is especially important for families, dog owners, those without transport, and older and less mobile people as most local houses only have small yards. Especially during COVID, such spaces are a known vital community and health resource. Government and local policies clearly show that recreation open space like this is supposed to be protected, and this is a local area which is already lacking in open green spaces. When planning, green spaces will be just as key for new houses as the ones already here - building here would be a detriment to current and future community members.
