Dear sir
I'm writing to you to voice my opposition to the building of houses on 'The WEC' site. This small patch of land is a haven to a wide variety of flora and fauna; [Redacted-sensitive information]
It's location, next to the Finchfield and Castlecroft estates provides an excellent interface into nature for many residents of all ages.
Since 2020 it's value to the community has been proven, becoming quite a social hub; the connected open spaces being perfect for people to gather and chat in a socially responsible manner. And post lockdown this has continued to be the case.
To carry out the proposed project would result in the taking away of a vital and much loved aminity from literally hundreds of families and individuals, decreasing the net mental and physical health of the community and removing an amazing educative 'natural' playground for children.
