Representation Summary:

I object, especially to E and F, on the grounds that the area is rich in wildlife, is part of a wildlife corridor along the river, the ponies provide local children and people with much pleasure and visiting the area promotes physical and mental health

Full text:

I object because there are many flowers and plants, because the ponies give the local community a lot of pleasure, being visited by families in a built up area and because these areas promote the physical and mental health of local people who visit them.

The grassy bank at the top of the pony fields is particularly rich in wild flowers, including a bee orchid, also many other species, which attract insects, including butterflies and bees. Which in turn support birds. The woodland strip at the bottom of the ponyfireld is also rich in wildlife, flowers, butterflies and bees. The field adjacent to the pony fields also has numerous species of wild flowers in the summer.
