I strongly object to part of this well established amenity Nature Reserve being destroyed and the rest of the area majorly impacted by Carbon Capture infrastructure. NB it takes years for grazing marsh to establish. The buildings will severely impact on the Reserve and my and many others well-being will be damaged . The creation of natural green spaces and biodiversity surely should remain uppermost in this government decision. Its a gem of a place and on the very spot where the new build will be ,I have seen skylarks and also nesting ring plovers - one could go on and list the biodiversity there but others are better equipped, so to do. The plan does nothing to encourage recycling. The burning of waste causes poor air quality, possible soil/water contamination - [water voles]. Light pollution. This natural space, that over many years has been slowly and affectively built up, [in what already is a busy and also to become a busier area through housing,] will be destroyed or heavily impacted. We should be protecting and encouraging nature, for future generations and not degrading it. To me the one sentence ' Carbon capture infrastructure, [partially] on/by a Nature Reserve' are the very words that make absolutely no sense.
