I expect to see a detailed assessment of the impact of carbon emissions from this scheme and an understanding of the alternative (more sustainable options) explored to meet the scheme objectives. The scheme will result in the loss of thousands of acres of farmland, threatening food security for future generations. There will also be an impact on nature's recovery, with the destruction of woodland (including ancient woodland), trees (inc ancient/veteran), hedgerows, resulting in a devastating impact on wildlife and habitat, inc protected species. This cannot, therefore, be considered to be a sustainable development. I believe the scheme will result in significant induced traffic and will, of course, increase air, noise and light pollution.
