The LNR surrounds the meadow. Meadows in woodland are very valuable & biodiverse adding to the ecological value. Building on it will split the woodland and LNRs in two. It is ludicrous to suggest that a close canopy and wildlife corridor can be maintained-Bats use the canopy, any development will break the continuous woodland strip. Net capacity of 32 is too high. The grassland is high in invertebrates/slow worms. The meadow provides a valuable ecosystem service for the community. If Inspector visits in summer they would find it hard to dispute its value. There have been several failed planning applications.
