Leicestershire Counry Council ecological dept have recently confirmed that they have evidence of ponds on or near this site to have had Great Crested Newts. A residential pond 10m from the site boundary also has evidence that it is a breeding site for Great Crested Newts. Other protected species mainly bats and badgers have been seen on the is proposed site. The Tree belt screening has enhanced the area and has inadvertly become a corridor for wildlife - owls, muncjack deer, foxes, snakes, birds of prey. The proximity to the Grand Union Canal is also a factor

LCC has confirmed recent evidence of Greater Crested Newts in this area. Other protected species such as bats, birds of prey and badgers are also present. The independent ecological and archaeological surveys must be carried out and the findings reviewed as a priority

We have a colony of Great Crested Newts in our garden pond, the new development would have a great impact on this endangered species, indeed it may even destroy the colony.

The site is unsuitable for development due to the impact on the ecology. The land is home to Great Crested Newts and bats.
