As a resident of Station Lane, I support the removal of Site 9 in Kingswood as a preferred option. I had previously lobbied against its selection on the grounds that it is farming land and a valuable wildlife habitat. The landscape of the area would have been considerably damaged too and there would have been little point in continuing with all the tree preservation orders in the road to maintain the landscape if other neighbouring trees were to be removed / affected so substantially.

Locally it is being said that the owners of Site 9 may appeal against its removal as a preferred option. I would regard this as somewhat disingenuous given that none of them live in the area and as such cannot be said to have the best interest of the community at heart.
