I support retaining St Edmundsbury as high amenity lands for the following reasons;
Compliance with the National Planning Framework- enhance amenity, preserve heritage, transition to a climate resilient society.
Compliance with NPF; green infrastructure aligns with NPFs focus on biodiversity, climate action, natural capital.
Development would sever ecological corridors and damage the landscapes integrity.
The NPF emphasises the importance of high-quality "sense of place" and community well being.
Having lived my whole life near St Edmundsbury environment I have been privileged to enjoy the biodiversity, recreational amenity and open green space. I wish the same for the next generation and many more to come. Lucan is on the verge of losing the vital green spaces that keep both humans and animals healthy and well. Any further loss of these vital amenities will have a detrimental affect on the locality now and into the future.
