This project will take out of production, or possible production, many hectares of farmland at a time when we should be looking to becoming more self sufficient in food production. It will increase the amount of traffic in an area of open countryside. At present the area selected is a green area of natural beauty. Grassland such as this area acts as a carbon sink. Building this interchange will increase the carbon footprint of the area massively as well as removing a natural carbon sink as suggested.
