The proposed development will mean the total destruction of large amounts of areas that are abundant with beautiful wildlife, we have deer and hare and shrews and many more, we have curlews that nest on the ground currently swoop across the area ALL of this will be lost. Woodland and ponds will be destroyed for what? All irreversible once gone. Traffic for construction will thunder through a quiet lazy village, villagers walking their dogs and riding their horses will quite literally be in fear of their life from the undoubtedly excessive speed of these huge vehicles as they thunder to their destination just a few yards from the local infant and junior school, a riding centre which often holds events gets huge numbers of entrants all arriving in 3.5T vans 7.5T vans and even larger, this in itself causes problems with parked cars so imagine the carnage when dozens of tipper trucks which are far bigger in overall size try to access the site! Disaster waiting to happen. The loss of precious agricultural land is yet another side to consider due to the size of this development.
