The housing will have a major visual impact on the area making it less attractive as a tourist destination.
It will have an adverse affect on wildlife by reductiing habitat space, especially for birds such as skylarks which nest in those fields; a once common bird but whose numbers have plummetted in recent years. Those fields have been frequented by flocks of geese ; I enclose photos I have taken of large flocks of geese using those fields, allocated for housing. Badgers have also been seen in the area.
We cannot afford to lose any more mature trees
