Unless viable ecological evidence has been found and is presented for the area discussed (number 3 on the map), the only part of that land that has possible ecological value is the pond and should be marked on the concept Master Plan accordingly

Having looked carefully into the modifications illustrated on the Berkswell Parish Council Plan, I felt it was imperative, as an owner of the adjacent property, to put forward my concern over how this land is being portrayed.

I have joint ownership of some land which is in the concept Master Plan and don’t necessarily agree to the current configuration (number 3 on the concept map).

I am interested to know what significant ecological interest there is in this particular field, as we currently use this field just for grazing sheep and our pet pony. The only possible significant point I can think of is the small pond by the current gate. On what grounds have the council identified this particular field as having significant ecological interest?

Below I have attached photos taken today (06/12/2020) to show how the fields are currently being used.

I suggest that, unless viable ecological evidence has been found and is presented for the area discussed (number 3 on the map), the only part of that land that has possible ecological value is the pond and should be marked on the concept Master Plan accordingly.

Thank you.
