AD5/H/Chapel Street/Old School site I feel strongly that this site should not be developed.
• It contains a variety of species-rich habitats, including an unspoilt stretch of beck where there is evidence of otter activity. It is also prolific in butterflies, bees, birds and bats.
• It forms part of a quiet area of the village, little troubled by traffic and used by walkers and schoolchildren
• It has 2 major disadvantages as a potential site for development – poor road access and flooding potential.
I strongly support the Environment Group’s suggestion that this should be managed as a village wildlife reserve.
