I regularly visit this village to walk and enjoy the quiet, peaceful area and photograph the wildlife. The wildlife that also enjoy the area will be at best displaced and at worst destroyed, together with their habitat, due to the enormous area planned for this development. This in itself is utterly abhorrent. I have photographed deer, hares, many many different species of birds, some rarely even seen and badgers in this area, all soon to disappear. The destruction of the general peace and quiet of this village is quite disturbing, I cannot even imagine the worry of the villagers regarding the size of vehicles soon to be thundering around the area, and yes despite the fact these drivers will be told to keep their speed down, you can be certain that they will not! Accidents are just waiting to happen on some of the corners on the roads in this area.
