Planning Issues 

​

The site floods and further development will cause additional issues. 

The road is narrow, unlit, with no footpath.

There is insufficient public transport and proposals do not include enough car parking meaning roads will be clogged with visitor and workers' cars.

It is a valuable ecological asset and supports lowland unimproved grasslands, traditional orchard and wet woodland habitats.

It lies within an important and strategic wildlife corridor.

It is the sole remaining view over the wider floodplain to travellers along Northwick Road.

It is a distinctive landscape feature.

It is a site of historical interest.

​

We have all seen the folly of building on floodplain land where despite the pledges of builders and their advisers, people's homes have been flooded. This would be a dangerous and unwise, as well as unsightly development and should be opposed.
