The Triangle DUH211 page 371 + Holbeache, DUH208 page 371

I strongly object to the building of houses on these areas of land because -
(1) Loss of green belt - we are in a 'climate emergency' loss of green open spaces to development will contribute to climate change.
(2) I and my family used the 'the triangle# for exercise during lockdown as it is the closest area of open countryside to our house. We continue to walk there now.
(3) It would destroy these local environments. I don't believe that any compensatory resources would make up for losses.
(4) At 'the triangle' and 'Holbeach' I have seen [Redacted-sensitive information] nesting for many years up to and including this year. These would be lost forever from these sites. I have seen a [Redacted-sensitive information] hinting over the 'the triangle'.
(5) Development would increase traffic and lead to pressure. Increases on local services. This might be addressed by yet further development - bigger roads etc. This would further increase pollution and add to climate change.
(6) 'The Triangle' is culturally important to the local area. Often known as the Poppy Fields, because of the amazing display of these flowers in some years.
