More emphasis needs to be given to maintaining existing wildlife habitat and biodiversity as it is becoming seriously under threat in this part of Essex by overdevelopment and building on greenbelt. Also building on areas where there is badger populations and foraging has an impact on surrounding properties when badgers start searching for alternative foraging and sett building sites due to their long established ones being disturbed or destroyed.
