The planning document states (quote) '...measures to minimize the potential impact upon the Scraptoft Conservation area.....' The building of 1200 houses will have a disastrous and devastating effect upon a village such as Scraptoft. The house building which has already taken place has led to the destruction of several trees and hedgerows near The Hall, along Covert Lane, and Beeby Road. A 1200 house building project will necessitate the removal of more trees and the open and rural aspect of Scraptoft will be obliterated. Some of the listed buildings are already shrouded by recent buildings.
