I believe the proposal for H42 not to be viable as does not take account of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 and consideration of conservation of the area due to species on the endangered birds list of Merlin, Bullfinch, Fieldfare and Redwing which have been seen using the area repeatedly. This is in addition to many other species of wildlife such as community of bats, badgers, woodpeckers large variety of birds and the endangered stag beetle. Addition of housing will increase domestic pets contributing to reduction of wild animal populations and disrupting the natural ecology of the area. The compounded effect of the development with the addition of others in the area and High Speed 2 has not been taken into account. Immediate and long term effects will result in decline of local wildlife and possibly not recover within the area.
