Concern about impact on LWS. Any future application must include appropriate environmental and ecological assessments to ensure no adverse impact as per the Council's own ecological assessment. Adequate buffer zone (extended to include land identified as an area of potential flood risk) should be provided to prevent encroachment and preserve this habitat corridor. Site analysis mapping should extend to northern area of the LWS. No protection given to Purnells Brook Meadow which has been redesignated a LWS. No development to be permitted in the buffer areas. Impact of increase visitors on woodland. Weight given to Masterplans should be clarified.
