The Parish Council objects to this site allocation. The destruction of the woodland should not be allowed to happen. It is a highly used woodland walk and as such should stay.

This allocation does not comply with Policy 1 of our Neighbourhood Plan which states "New development will respect and retain the integrity of Great Plumstead, Little Plumstead and Thorpe End Garden Village as distinct settlements, protecting their character as individual villages and, in particular, it is important that coalescence is avoided between Thorpe End Garden Village and development related to the surrounding settlements, ensuring that Thorpe End Garden Village retains the appearance and character of a separate garden village"
