Housing would be a complete travesty. This is flood plain, agricultural green belt. With global warming set to raise river levels over the next decade, to build over soil that can absorb 20x its own weight in water, would leave our older homes at serious risk. The wildlife around the marsh and meadowlands is 2nd to none & we regularly watch everything from hawks, badgers, pipistrelles, herons & more. This river flooding over the centuries has produced some of the most fertile agricultural land in England. It is the bread basket of the country & should be kept as such
