In a very built up area, this is grazing land with fields and most importantly trees with tawny owls nesting there. It not only acts as rare green belt land but assists with pollution control and conserves wildlife for local children to see and learn about. Post covid this is vital. Land at Exley Head also floods after heavy rainfall.
Houses here will increase traffic flow to already very busy and polluted roads. The nearby newly built Occupation Lane development will already prove a burden on road systems when it opens and put pressure on local schools.
