My concerns are the loss in biodiversity of insects and small mammals. The breaking up of habitats into isolated fragments with no 'corridors'. Light and noise pollution affecting bats, birds and insects. The potential for increasing urbanisation of a wild area in the future due to new developments. The building of infrastructure and link roads and ever increasing reliance on cars and lorries. The apparent disregard of earlier government promises to reduce carbon footprint, emissions and to encourage greener transport methods.
