I am the executor of my parents estate - I am very concerned that this development will impact on the value of their property. Our family have farmed the land identified for this project for 60+ years and we hope we can continue to do so in the years to come. I feel that there has been inadequate consideration to:- * the current soils profile, quality and condition * the long term impact on the soil * the future viability of the farm and business * the route - why not follow the headland where the soil is less productive and easier to incorporate wildlife corridors in the future should the soil lose it's productivity * a general lack of understanding on how arable farming works and the importance of food security * the disruption to both people and wildlife * decisions are being made without consideration to the landowners feedback We are extremely concerned that this project will rip the heart out of the farm which our father spent years nurturing. It is an oasis of calm in an increasingly built up area.
