Representation Summary:

BECKNEY WOODS REF: CFS023/COL38 on the RDC Land Assessment 2017.


I strongly object to buildings being built on the land above. It is green belt and is important that it stays green belt. There is a variety of wildlife that rely on the natural habitat and without it would not survive. There are several badger sets and it is illegal to destroy these as per the law:

You could be sent to prison for up to 6 months and get an unlimited fine if you're found guilty of any of these offences:
damage, destroy or block access to their setts

I do hope Rochford County Council will not do the right thing and protect our every decreasing rural areas.
