This undeveloped farm land should remain undeveloped. It is a vital green space necessary for local people's health and wellbeing.

The knock-on impact of additional housing in this area would be greatly disadvantageous to local traffic and residents.

Destroying the Capstone Valley with houses would be disastrous. Local roads on both sides of the boundary would be overwhelmed. The loss of green space would have a devastating impact on wildlife, the environment and people's well-being.

Greenfield sites should only be used if no brownfield sites remain. The damage to the environment and wildlife would be too high a price to pay if this vital green landscape is destroyed.
