We (the signed and attached) object to the potential plans to build on the area known as Grapes Pool field. This is an important green space which is much loved and used. I find for my mental health that it helps me to have this space as due to my physical health I am limited to where I can go and as I don't work I am in the house a lot. There is a lot of nature in the area which I see on a regular basis including birds, bats and foxes. During the lockdown the space became even more valuable to the area as people looked to it to provide an escape and to exercise. There is a wide variety of people who use the space and especially for the people in the flats nearby it is their only access to green space. It is poor planning to even consider this space as it will have a detrimental affect on the local community both now and for future generations. There is also not the infrastructure to support. I urge you to reconsider. I am horrified this is being considered.
