Destroying this site will mean losing a wide variety of birds/wildlife. The idea that retaining hedgerows and trees in isolation will continue to represent rich habitat shows a lack of understanding of how ecology works. Building right up to a hedgerow and across the hunting ground will have a catastrophic effect on habitat quality. Adjacent green belt will be damaged due to eroding wildlife corridor/buffer zones, increasing noise, vehicles, pollution, and street lighting. Green spaces are more important than ever for our mental health and wellbeing and this one is important to our community.
