I have huge concerns that this costly plan will have a negative impact on the environment. It will destroy acres of natural habitat; including ancient woodland, established hedgerows and greenbelt land which will have a devastating impact on native wildlife, including protected species in a time of habitat loss and species extinction. Agricultural land will also be lost threatening farmland and food security. The huge increase in carbon emissions, air and noise pollution created as a result of the scheme is totally unacceptable in this time of climate emergency and the vast sums of money it will cost should be spent elsewhere where they will have a positive impact and not on a scheme that will destroy essential wildlife habitat; pollute the environment and ruin communities and the health of those that live in them.
