The size of this development is too large and will swamp the surrounding areas. The land to be used is good farmland. A large percentage of the Fens is already being lost by being converted from farmland to wetlands, and this scheme will increase our dependancy on imported crops, which, in these turbulent times, is something we should avoid. A great deal of farmland in this area has already been lost recently to the construction of housing and this scheme will further decrease food production considerably. Wildlife will be severly affected by this construction and the amount of trees and plants which will be destroyed will create more carbon. The construction of the scheme will cause noise, disruption and inconvenience to the local people, who will gain no benefit from it.
