SAVE THE FIELD - PROTECT EDINBURGH’S GREENBELT!
*** CONCERNING PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ALONG FROGSTON ROAD EAST - PLEASE REGISTER YOUR INDIVIDUAL OBJECTION TO THIS AS A MATTER OF URGENCY, USING THE LINK BELOW -
https://citydev-portal.edinburgh.gov.uk/idoxpa-web...We would applaud the Catchelraw trust and David Wilson & Barrat homes if they left the land to its already established purpose, which is much needed, quality farm land, or allowed it in part to re-wild, made a community orchard, community gardens and allotments. There are many ways in which this land can be used to benefit the existing community and set a precedent for future developers, who think that they can erode our green space for profit. This is a time for the innovators in planning and development to step forward, so that we don't leave behind a legacy of shame for generations to come. Please remember that when the Greenbelt land is built upon, it is gone forever!
please also register your objection with councillor Ian Murray Ian.murray.mp@parliament.uk
We, the community, cannot allow the destruction of this precious land - it will cripple the already exhausted resources available to its existing residents.
Further housing development here will result in:
- Even Less access to essential services like GP appointments, Dentist appointments and Primary School Places.
- Even more congestion on Frogston Road and the surrounding area, resulting in poorer public transport and road conditions.
- Poorer air quality
-The destruction of important and protected greenbelt land, supporting an array of red listed species such as Skylark, Tree Sparrow and Yellowhammer.
