I live on Rectory Lane and back onto the field. We have a high level of wild animals which are on the meadow, we have a pair of Kestrels which have been using our Kestrel box and laying eggs the past two years. If houses do get built then the wild life will disappear. I have read that Kestrels are in a serious decline because their natural habitat is disappearing due to new housing estates being built on the outskirts of villages. Does Poringland need more houses! There is also a river and a pond in the middle of the meadow which attracts different wildlife.
