Development within the parish of Kempston Rural in the last few years has been disproportionately high in comparison to other areas. The landscape of the parish has already changed a lot and further increase in development will irreversibly change the character of the parish. The greenbelt areas are important buffer zones for protected areas such as Kempston rural wood. Buttons Ramsey and the kill are known hunting and nesting grounds for bats, barn owls and little owls. The large field buffering Buttons Ramsey and owned by the Frossells is hunting ground for barn owls and kestrels. The hedges are used a migratory routes for bats. Skylarks use the hedge margins in nesting season. Sightings can be verified. Increased pressure on the boundaries of wildlife havens is unacceptable. The Bunyan Way landscape will be effected by the development. The roads are not robust enough to take the volume of traffic.
