I object to the proposed, unsustainable, Denybrook Garden Village for the following reasons:

- This is a new development on greenfield land. Brownfield sites should be favoured first.

- There are long-term (permanent) negative impacts on habitats and species (flora and fauna), e.g. loss, severance and damage, even after mitigation and enhancement.
The development area proposed contains a unique mosaic of terrestrial and aquatic habitats. NB. net habitat gain will not equate to the re-creation of this mosaic.

- There are also negative, permanent impacts on: landscape, the historic environment and rural communities (incl. traffic, noise and flooding).
