Representation Summary:

It is close to a canal, mature trees, tall hedgerows, and Wooded areas. The area is rich in wildlife including protected species. In the Market Harborough habitat survey 2008 2.4.5 it states that 'Narrow strips of habitat may be vulnerable to edge effects, and consequently the wider the corridor can be, better for many species.' And 'Such networks should be protected from development'. The Landscape Character assessment 2009 states area is 'highly sensitive'should be 'safeguarded and managed'. it also states that the tree belt appears to be coming to the end of its life.

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.
