Site Proposals document

Representation ID: 14898

Respondent: Mr Tim Bennett-Odlum

Representation Summary:

I object to this proposal to build at the end of Gurney Lane. This site is part of the local recreational area connected to nature trails and supports local wildlife. There is a whole host of small animals, birds and deer that I have observed in the area, as well as insects and butterflies. Walkers, dog walkers, students all enjoy the trails in the surroundings woods. Flooding of the river is also a concern downstream, and this would add to the problem. Development should be kept away from this water course,,as the river can't handle it.
