The map does not recognise the woodland next to CFS062 as a wildlife area, but it is woodland trust. It is home to numerous species, some rare in our countryside. In last year it has been home to Nightingales, Muntjac, Badgers, Hen Harriers, Cuckoo, Woodpeckers incl lesser spotted, nesting Buzzards, Little Owls and many others. The owls and other birds of prey use the proposed plot for hunting. Along with CFS061, we are also privileged to home gloworms. They not only need their immediate habitat preserved, they need darkness to attract mates. Light pollution from adjacent housing would destroy them, and threaten the colony in Creeksea with whom they traverse.
The woodland was donated by my now deceased (John Mitchell) who was a war hero and avid conservationist. He formerly owned CFS062, and would be devastated by current proposals if he were still alive today. He sold to Mr S Stacy in trust it would not be developed, but that trust appears not to be passed to current owner.
North of Lambourne Road is not only green belt, it is designated Crouch Valley, and afford additional protection for wildlife. This is not recognised.
Finally, it does recognise transport, but to be clear, building in Canewdon is no different to building in Ashingdon. it relies on the very same roads and infrastructure. It has the same pinch points - Greensward lane Hockley, Rochford Rd/Sutton Rd Jcn, Rochford Rd/Hall Rd Jcn, Watery lane Hullbridge/Battlesbridge etc.. When any single route is closed, transport into and out of the area becomes impossible.
