Save Clockfields Millennium Forest and SLINC
Please refuse planning permission to destroy a woodland planted to
commemorate the new Millennium that is both a Site of Local Interest for
Nature Conservation (SLINC) and has a Woodland Tree Preservation Order,
in order to build unwanted luxury homes for the private market. It has
become a haven for wildlife including owls, woodpeckers, butterflies,
bats and deer and is much needed for wildlife and the local community.
We
request that the current planning application, P25/0702, be refused by
the council the same as the previous ones which have received close to
300 objections. The council have publicly stated that making the site a
SLINC would protect it for future generations
(https://councilnews.dudley.gov.uk/news/greater-protection-plan-for-green-spaces)
so allowing this application to proceed will likely set a precedent
that jeopardises the future of not just this SLINC, woodland and much
loved community green space but also others in the Dudley borough which
the council has promised would be safe from development in the current
local plan. This is an urban green space and woodland in a very built up
area which is essential as a wildlife corridor as well as providing
health and recreational benefits to the local community.
We would
further request that the council either considers purchase of the land
or assists residents with a communal purchase to ensure it is protected.
