I am strongly in support of the proposed modifications as this will ensure that almost all of Speckled Wood will be protected from development. This woodland valley is very important to me and to local residents of Ore and the redesignation of the land will provide an opportunity for community use to be firmly established and allow for woodland management to improve & enhance the whole area as well as continuing to provide habitat for the prolific wildlife such as badgers, foxes, bats & slow worms. In addtion to this it is also my hope that the parcel of land to the rear of Old London Road will in time be able to be reinstated as allotments for the community as it once was.
