Representation Summary:

Why does this council always place a caveat on their commitment to protect wildlife and nature reserves? Never a straightforward 'we will not allow development on these important sites'...always a clause which says development may be permitted....it is patently clear that if development is permitted on these fragile and important sites, the wildlife will be lost.Robsack "A" is a particularly worrying development site proposal. This site is situated directly in the centre of a local nature reserve and two ancient woodlands.This modification is meaningless.No development should ever be permitted on these biodiverse sites.
