Site CFS023 needs protecting from development. It provides a vital buffer land between existing developments and the ancient woodlands of Beckney woods. Removing this greenbelt land would require needless policy changes - the greenbelt holds importance as it forms a vital habitat that co-exists with the ancient woods. There are many other sites in Rochford district that if developed, would not cause irreversible damage to ancient woodlands. The site has many animals, plants and trees that call it home; which would be destroyed. The proposed access is too narrow to handle two-way traffic, with no room to widen.
