Representation Summary:

I wish to protest against planning permission to build on this PRIME farmland in Rockland St Mary, It produces TWO crops per year. There are other concerns about wildlife as well. Running alongside this field there is an owl sanctuary, new houses built in its vicinity won’t help owls or the wildlife and birds, which are already at risk from other causes. We are not seeing any hedgehogs, butterflies even cabbage whites, honey bees and very few bumble bees. These all used to be plentiful.

Teresa Coffey Secretary for state and environment, food and rural affairs. Said this week that we should eat food grown and produced in Britain. How do you think this can do this if you insist on building on prime land, or any farmland for that matter. There are lots of brown fill sites.
