I have already set out my objections to the overall plan to reduce the existing nature reserve to a wedge only 100 meters wide for the reasons stated. The whole building programme will decimate the existing wildlife which will not return.. The report by the county ecologist clearly contains information in support of retaining this area as a valuable site for wildlife. Being an old prisoner of war camp there are undoubtedly hidden problems which will arise such as concrete bases, culverts and bunkers etc leftover. There is also the brook which has never been maintained and is already becoming filled up with silt following the recent developments. I am concerned that this will increase and with additional building the gardens backing onto the brook will be subject to flooding..
