Representation Summary:

Having recently discovered that the adjacent land to Burnmill Farm is already owned by developers, it is concerning that the corridor between the Grand Union Canal and the Burnmill Farm site could be developed. It is stated in one document that this site should be safeguarded and managed but I fear the development of Burnmill Farm may encourage developers to seek permission to develop this area. David Wilson Homes at their recent consultation of the Burnmill Farm site show they are retaining an unnecessary farm access point which could be used as access to the scarp slopes.
