"Due to the climate emergency and the resulting food insecurity, we cannot afford to build on land which can be used to offset carbon emissions and to provide local food. The application describes the land as 'unremarkable'. The fact that it is necessary to feed us requires no remarks: it is essential.
Another objector raised concerns over the impact on natural light affecting nocturnal wildlife, as well as the effect on the environment. "The existing residential dwellings to the north of the development are characterised by their quiet nature, and most of the properties to the eastern side are inhabited by retired folk who require complete silence, especially at night."
