Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 7581
Received: 11/03/2019
Respondent: Mrs Patricia Hayes
Site A4 - Kixley Lane
Farming land should not be lost at a time when it is needed.
Wildlife habitat should be preserved. Bats present on the site.
In response to the proposed plan for housing development on the above farmland/green belt my concern is the use of farm land for residential building . We do not know what pressures our farmers will be under post Brexit more will need to be produced for domestic use ,if their acreage decreases they will be forced into intensive farming, we are still suffering from the effects of the last time this was implemented. If you make further enquiries it is reported that the soil globally is in decline so all types of food production will be less nutritious. This aspectMUST be looked at in depth and with research results not only from Defra but RHS and UN.
Incidentally there are bats dwelling in the trees along Kixley Lane I often see them flying at dusk in the summer evenings.
Please understand I do not have a problem with house building in general as everyone needs somewhere to live but also the all important wildlife need habitats , our insects are in alarming decline please do not add to the
