Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8153

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Ken Bridgwater

Representation Summary:

We do not support changes to Green Belt as School Road is a natural haven for woodpeckers, owls, sparrows etc. Oak trees with TPOs on 49 & 328 provide essential habitat plus produce oxygen and soak up excessive ground moisture as this area is subject to localised flooding. The public footpath allows villagers to access much needed wildlife habitat to maintain society's education of the importance of preserving Green land. Changes to Green Belt for planning would be ecologically catastrophic and upset the balance of human & natural worlds.
