I am a local and myself and my neighbours all use this piece of land to keep fit walking especially with the current pandemic, it's even more important for everyone's health and wellbeing

This is a protected green space with wild life that should not be disturbed.

Jenny Porch (Wokingham, 2020-12-01)

I wish to preserve the very limited open space on the Lower Earley development

Joanne Booth (Reading, 2020-12-01)

I'm signing because as stated the path through here has been in use for 30 years or more. Of course there's wildlife there, you'd have to be a fool to think that.
Green space is precious in this ever expanding community.

I was born and brought up in Earley and have seen first hand the destruction and decimation of the whole of Earley and Lower Earley since the 80’s. Enough is enough!! Leave the few green areas so that residents and visitors can enjoy a bit of the little countryside remaining.

This is destruction of a really nice woodland area

Ian Frampton (Reading, 2020-12-01)

#1029

This is an already built up area and for the developers to (potentially) come via the back door is appalling

Karen Long (Woodley, 2020-12-01)

#1037

I used to use this wooded and meadow area all the time. It's one of the only few left and I think it's shocking it has to be developed on. Leave the wildlife alone!

So sad to lose the few green spaces left in this area. We have walked here often

Eileen Allen (Spencers Wood, 2020-12-01)

The is a vital green space for the community. It is used extensively for recreation and protects residents from the noise and pollution of Lower Earley way and the M4. Developing this land would be detrimental to the health and well being of everyone living here.
It also provides a vital wildlife corridor for birds such as the red kite. Foxes and badgers and bats.
That the developer choose to clear the land without even informing nearby residents is appalling and shows no trust just as we cannot trust in their plans.

Thomas Hardwick (Lower Earley, 2020-12-01)

This is another important environmental rescue in the face of unfettered development.

I live in the area amd have walked here for years. Too much of our local green land is being swallowed up

I object to all the trees being destroyed before the council has given planning permission.

Stephen Newton (Reading, 2020-12-01)

#1081

I am concerned about the use of this protected green space and feel ithe vegetation should not have been cut down. People should continue to be able to use the land to walk on as in the past

Caroline Cox (Reading, 2020-12-02)

We must protect our environment - I hope all politicians watched Attenborough's recent programs - including extinction which points out that covid may be due to what we did to animals natural habitat

It’s used daily by local residents including myself, it’s an important green corridor, and a home for lots of wildlife.

I think its very important to preserve the wildlife and bats !

Karen Beresford (London, 2020-12-03)

The loss of our wildlife, natural habitats and forests is a national disgrace. In the time of greater awareness of environmental damage and ecology, there is no consideration for these small pockets of natural habitat which will have a hugely damaging effect overall. This is happening all over the UK as well as internationally. Our natural eco systems are being devastated. There has got to be more consideration for the natural world.

Georgia Pickwick (Great Shefford, 2020-12-04)

I have lived next to the open land in question for the past 35 years and have always been led to believe the land was kept clear due to the flood plain.
It is a lovely open green/wooded area and has always been used by walkers and their families observing wildlife that include Fox, Deer, Bats, rodents, birds, and has given a safe habitat to all wildlife who reside in this field.
The trees and shrubs are also important to help absorb noise and pollution created by lower earley way, and the M4 just across the way.
If any sort of development is allowed on any of the open space in question, then this leaves all open spaces running parallel with lower earley way in jeopardy.

This area should not have been cleared. A) no notice given.
B) protected green space. C) enough is enough!

Christine Henderson (Lower Earley . Berkshire, 2020-12-04)

This land is valuable green space
That was never designated for development when Chatteris way was
Finished by Bryant homes
I owned 6 Chatteris Way purchased from
New
Any developement would be too close to the M4
This land was originally owned by the University of Reading

We shall protect wildlife environment even close to our cities and already crippled. Stop environmental barbarism and self-destruction. Be responsible and show the others and young how important it is to protect wildlife.

Green open spaces are vital. People need to be able to walk and children play in these places to enjoy being outside.

June Tillyer (Earley, 2020-12-06)

I live just behind the Swallows Meadow, my back yard, garden leads to this green woods. Selling these lands and building concrete buildings destroys the Green and Mother nature. the local areas looses the identification by loosing green woods or forests.

It is disgusting that this desecration could have taken place without consideration for the local community, or indeed consultation with Earley Town and Wokingham Borough Councils. If we are to meet our Global Warming Target, we need every tree, sapling ,bush and blade of grass to ourselves survive.
The workmen doing the clearing work, say that they did a survey, to test for wildlife habitation of this area, prior to clearing it. I wonder how thorough that was? The accepted method for detecting wildlife is to deploy camera's, triggered by motion sensors. Under these circumstances activity of the animal world is most often observed at night. I seriously question how thorough was their survey and by what method? Can they produce the evidence, photographs etc?
Often when visiting my Daughter and her family in Basset Close, I have seen Foxes and sometimes Deer in and adjacent to the area in question usually at dusk.
I have walked the unofficial pathway through the woods on a number of occasions in daylight and dusk light conditions and observed much winged wildlife, although I am not sufficiently knowledgeable to identify which species they are other than to say I have seen large numbers of Birds, Butterflies, Moths, Bees and Dragonflies etc.

As a former Mayor and Chairman of Earley Town Planning committee I deplore the constant development of the Local Green Space.

Andrew Bradley (Reading, 2020-12-15)

#1176

The decimation of our wooded areas all comes down to property developers who want to make a killing when they sell their ‘new builds’!
They don’t care about how local people feel about this. I find what they are doing absolutely sickening. Shouldn’t we be making room for nature.....not destroying it?

Barbara Kyriakou (Wokingham, 2020-12-15)

Why don't they, (the Conservative apology for a Government) just concrete over the whole of Southern England & be done with it!
Of course that is a joke - not the bit about the Conservatives though.

I'm signing because this is a vital green corridor linking the Asda and Sindlesham ends of Lower Earley for both wildlife and people which should be preserved.

Yet another area of green space in danger of being developed. This area must be maintained as a green space to ensure a balance of housing and open spaces

Developers just think they can do what they like, I don't think much of Reading University for selling off this lovely piece of land to these awful developers,we must protect our green space.

Its criminal how the green woodlands were felled with no respect for nature or wildlife

I frequently walk through Swallows Meadow and it is a glorious place to watch nature unfold through the seasons. On the land in question my grandchildren loved spotting the numbered animal boxes attached to the undergrowth. It is only a matter of time until the remaining area is flattened.

Janet Butcher (Reading, 2020-12-16)

#1200

I’m signing this because developers can not just build anywhere or start bulldozing with prior consent. Wildlife leave here, rabbits dear badgers foxes numerous types of birds. It’s a lovely walk especially if u have a dog which I do. There is to much traffic around our estate and idiot drivers without more being forced onto our roads
