Respondent: Mrs Jacqueline Baker

Representation Summary:

My biggest concern is the noise and light pollution which will affect both us and the local wildlife. I regularly see both Skylarks and Linnets from my garden (both of which are on the RSPB Red list as endangered species)which would lose their habitats if this development takes place. Bats will also be affected by the light pollution as they are nocturnal; they find artificial lighting to be very disturbing. The decrease in bat numbers mirrors the ever-changing countryside.
