Representation Summary:

Access to this site can only be achieved by severing the current link between Robsack and Churchwood nature reserves. Not only will this amount in the short term destruction of ancient woodland, but longer term would lead to the reduction in value of the isolated Robsack wood, a situation warned against by the current borough ecologist in his 1998 report.
