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.

We believe it is wrong to destroy agricultural land which is needed to avoid more importing of our food & losing our self reliance. This is seriously over developing a rural area.
This housing should not be built until the infrastructure to support it is in place, including water/sewage, doctors (bearing in mind this area does not have enough doctors already to cope with demand) & hospital places.
When the plans for these houses are drawn up they should be predominately affordable housing.
