We have lost 97% of our wildlife meadows to farming and such meadows need poor quality land. Therefore, assuming that poor quality farming land has no biodiversity value is wrong. This land could, with the right management, significantly improve biodiversity. Developments in this area is on rare chalk grassland - even more important to ensure that all grassed areas are planted as meadows not just green grass and managed for wildlife, not just for children playing football.
