I wish to object to this proposal on the grounds of nature, health, well being and climate change. The new route will cause a loss of biodiversity the area especially threatening our rare, endangered and protected water voles. The route will further dissect and break up existing habitats causing loss of species in these sites and the links between them. Ancient woodlands cannot be replace-ever. The route will attract more traffic and further contribute to pollutant and CO2 emissions-endangering peoples health as well as going directly against the government’s own target of net zero by 2050. Lastly as a keen walker, and a supporter of the local population, I feel that this proposal will create negative change and spoil the natural beauty and peacefulness of the area.
