Respondent: Chris Teeder

Representation Summary:

All areas of wildlife habitat need to be presereved especially if they are home to badger populations as disturbing these causes major problems to property in the surrounding areas. It is also vitally important that attention is payed to maintain existing biodiversity in order to support all species particularly endangered or protected ones.
Existing farmland should not be used for development as apart from providing important wildlife habitat around its boundaries it is more important than ever that we keep our country's food sources in production to provide for the increasing population and help decrease our reliance on importing food.
