Once the nature reserve is scoured bare and all that is left is damaged trees,bare earth,dead wildlife and litter,will the council then argue that the Reserve is not providing a benefit and allow development of this area as well?The destruction of Ancient Woodland and important species and flora and the destruction of the grassland habitat which constitutes Robsack 'meadow' represents a huge loss just to provide 32 flats.These actions will sever the natural corridor between the two woodlands - the widlife will find it harder to forage between the two woodlands.The decline of now ISOLATED Robsack wood is guaranteed.
We are bitterly disappointed and disgusted to learn that the council is considering allowing the development of Robsack 'meadow'.The land is in-between the Churchwood local nature reserve and virtually untouched Robsack Wood.Both of which are habitats for important wildlife hence the status of a local nature reserve being granted.Construction of any properties on the border of both these vitally important protected areas would compromise the benefit of this nature reserve and Ancient Woodland.The area would slowly degrade into the familiar urban tatty woodland that borders the development of the Tesco store and the top of Churchwood.
