There is absolutely zero benefit to these proposals or any positivity to local wildlife and residents. We acknowledge the need for more housing but destroying existing communities and nature is completely the wrong way to achieve this goal. All sense of community will be removed and if you happen to live in one of these new estates, frankly you could be living anywhere as they all look the same,

For an Authority and Government who champion the Environment and wildlife how is covering fields with housing the way forward? The Readers Way site is one of the few remaining local designated green wedges and this will disappear along with hedgerows, crop growing etc. Diverse wildlife habitats will be destroyed, including foxes, badgers, slow worms, voles, field mice, hedgehogs bats etc plus associated birds of prey including owls, hawks etc and insects. This will be a catastrophe for wildlife and the wellbeing of existing residents who enjoy walking in quiet country lanes and across public trails.
