Currently included in the maps are areas which are not suitable for development. For example North Dane Wood on Lordswood Lane is marked in the East Hill applications as being ancient woodland but has been put forward for development. The same land owners have also used this woodland in their East Hill development as forming a neighbouring green route for wildlife to support their development. This cannot work both ways and given East Hill has approval, this woodland must remain. Also included are Hempstead Road allotments which are also vital. I therefore have concerns that due diligence hasn't taken place.
