I cannot believe these extra sites have been proposed. We all live in a very ecologically important area. More development equals more people, which means more pollution, cars, waste, human impacting negatively on vitally important species and habitats we have the privilege to live within and around. Not to mention that this proposal is right in the middle of what Natural England is trying to improve through Countryside Stewardship/HLS farmland agreements. Of the ever declining farmland birds, Turtle Dove is deemed a priority species. Natural England deems this area to be a priority habitat for Turtle Dove. Why are we spending our taxes to the government (CAP) who on the one hand is paying farmers to protect priority habitats and species, then in the other proposing housing developments right within those areas. Knowing that they WILL resoundingly have a detrimental impact on those species and habitats. We have semi improved grasslands of good quality, purple moor grass and rush pasture which is all special and we are not considering the impact increasing human inhabitation will have on these special environmental habitats at all.

Then there are the roads. Extra traffic on already ridiculously over used roads! The current housing development for the GNLP is MORE than enough for this very precious ecological environment we have the privilege to exist in. Nobody outside of this area will protect it so we all must have our say in ensuring we do our utmost to protect and keep it this special. NO more sites, no more housing! No more!
