WAH237 & WAH253

I am a local resident and feel very upset at the prospect of planning taking place on our Green Belt land.

As a PE Teacher and Duke of Edinburgh Co-Ordinator it is my job to promote the importance of our green spaces and how walking and enjoying the great outdoors is vital for our physical health, mental health and wellbeing. I am worried for the future of our community as feel that there will be no green belt for them to enjoy.

When in lockdown and teaching from home it proved to me even more how precious our beautiful home is and our surroundings provide us with so much joy and peace of mind.

It would an absolute tragedy if planning was to take place when there is so much Brown Land and derelict sites that can be regenerated. We need to think about the devastation this will have on local flora and fauna. We must protect it before it is too late and it is a duty to ensure it is around for future generations to enjoy
