I'm extremely concerned regarding the allocation of new settlements and the environmental impacts. Local and Potential Wildlife Sites, SSSIs, designated Nature Reserves and other sites are vital for wildlife within our natural landscape. It doesn’t appear that Councils have considered these in the location selection process.

Several proposed settlements in the Local Plan are within existing Green Belt, building on which would have a negative impact on designated sites and wildlife including protected and declining species. These locations act as transitional buffers for nature and their removal would reduce access to nature for urban-dwellers, with consequent loss of wellbeing.
