Representation Summary:

The proposed development will cause a loss of diversity - the 2008 Habitat Survey identified the site as being unsuitable for development. Along with many types of butterflies & moths, (including one thought to be extinct in Warwickshire), we know of bats and great crested newts in the arae; we have a section of ancient hedgerow and many very old (> 100 years) trees. The site is also part of the historic landscape which was a part of the Guys Cliffe Estate which has been identifed by English Heritage as of historical interest.
