Representation Summary:

I thought the development of the old WEC site had been turned down
Now I hear it has been approved again
Could you clarify the latest please , it would be much appreciated
The area is next to a pond and there are definitely great crested newts there which are protected under law. Also a number of variety of bats - also protected.
Woild be a shame to ruin such an area of rich wildlife for the sake of 14 houses.
Plenty of other places to build where there aren't protected species

As pointed out as an option, I would very much like to state my objection to the BCP plans to remove WEC as green belt land and also object to it being used for housing development. Please officially lodge my objection. I thank you for this.

Whilst I understand the 10 year commitment post build, I still feel strongly the build will have a negative effect on the area. Hence my objection to this proceeding
