This field leads into the beautiful valley in which Tong Park pond and cricket ground nestle. It has a natural habitat that is rich in flora and fauna and supports an abundance of wildlife. The footpaths that border it are extremely popular with walkers and nature lovers and it would be a tragedy to lose it for the sake of just 40 dwellings while other less environmentally damaging options exit. The ground slopes away very steeply from Meadowside Road and may prove difficult to develop with boggy areas and difficult and steep access particularly during winter months. The access is from Langley Lane which is already a very busy cul-de-sac particularly during school drop off and pick up times when queues of traffic, often several hundred meters long backup while cars try to squeeze between parked vehicles. Sadly this development will only add to the air pollution around the school.
