Scraptoft under these proposals will lose a substantial part of its Nature Reserve as well as the recreational and wildlife habitat of the Golf Course. The WWII prisoner of war camp which has been a significant feature within living memory for Scraptoft residents will also be lost.
The harm to the conservation village from even more vehicles travelling through it on a daily basis will also be substantial.

Clause (b) of Policy GD5 sets out that proposals should avoid the loss of features of landscape, townscape, historic/heritage, wildlife or geological importance. Whilst this is understandable, it should be recognised that any adverse impacts that a proposal has on these issues should be factored into the planning balance when making a decision rather than it being a sole reason for refusing any application.
