Plans for a 236 hectare golf course at Coul Links near Dornoch in the Scottish Highlands could put one of Scotland’s rarest species at threat of global extinction. Fonseca’s seed fly is restricted globally to a short stretch of coast in northern Scotland. Its population is perilously small and is thought to be closely associated with Ragwort, Sow-thistle and the sand dune systems found in this area. The proposed golf course would destroy important habitat for this species and fragment the already fragile population. Stabilisation of the dunes and creation of fairways and greens will destroy the habitat for the species.

The Sankey canal is the first canal in modern industrial England accepted as the birthplace of the industrial revolution, it has the first 2 lock flights, it's crossed by the first passenger railway over one of the first viaducts, currently most of the Sankey is in dereliction indeed In filled, it still has its locks (some requiring rebuild), a viable water supply and its original reservoir, The Sankey canal is one of the most historically important canals in Britain. https://www.facebook.com/groups/127843080962417/

The report was presented by SNH in June 2015 and as yet no decision has been made. In that time there has been a Scottish Parliamentary election which has seen a change in the minister in charge. There have also been shootings of beaver on the Tay river system that have been uncontrolled and unauthorised which has seen pregnant females being killed, as confirmed by RZSS vets. The Scottish Government response to these actions was effectively a request not to carry on with this activity. Given that there is much evidence to suggest that beaver activity can not only have immediate ecological benefits to the area around beaver ponds but also to population and health of fish such as trout and salmon and help by way of flood prevention down stream, an overall decision would seem a good long term strategy for all concerned!

The application goes against numerous policies in the Arun Local Plan. The site is outside the built up area, where the only development that might be approved would be sea defences. A planning application for a shelter for one boat was rejected in 2015 and the refusal was upheld on appeal, because the small shelter, less than one metre high, was considered to harm the open character of the beach and was therefore contrary to policy GEN7 of the Local Plan. An enclosure 2.85 metres high to accommodate 60 boats, which includes a building 13.6 metres long, must also be contrary to planning policy. There are also practical problems about the site: the roads approaching it are private, and the owners have said that they will note provide the Open Dinghy Club with the right to use them. There is a section of car park between the road west of the site, South Strand, which is attached to the house south of it, and its owner, Caroline Bond, has said she will not allow the club to cross her land. So the site can only be reached on foot or from the sea, and construction of the enclosure and building seems impossible. Please let Arun District Council know your thoughts, today.

Over the lifetime of the Hub, students developed and led their own sustainability projects through our WHOLE EARTH? Fellowships Programme, helped local enterprises recognise and develop their sustainability potential in the Green Impact Enterprise project, reviewed the university’s focus on sustainability in the study programmes working as Sustainability Researchers in the Education for Sustainability initiative, and worked on a number of other projects such as Grow At Home and Behind Your Screen. The Hub provides a great example that illustrates the institutional responsibilities and provides a programme that helps utilise our knowledge, skills, creativity and passions to act responsibly and as active, engaged citizens. The proposed closure of the Hub takes away this opportunity that helps not just the students on many different levels, but also the University, the Students’ Union and the wider community. We also have a crowdfunding page for anyone who would like to help keep the Hub alive - we would be so grateful for any donation, big or small. https://crowdfunding.justgiving.com/sustainability-hub

The area in question is the land to the North of Blind Lane in Houghton and has been green, open space for over 40 years and is used by the local community for recreational purposes. Due to several new build developments locally, this is now the only area of green , open space in the locality and is vital for the local community. In 2012, Sunderland City Council carried out a Green space Audit in the area and it was found to be the largest and highest quality green space in the area. It was also identified as serving three purposes; an outdoor sports facility, an amenity green space and as forming part of a green corridor in the area.

Trustees are required by law to act prudently at all times in the best interests of the charity and its beneficiaries and be personally accountable for the proper management of the charity and its assets. Over 70% of the village have supported the Parish Council objecting to the current plans and we believe that the Trustees should seek a clear mandate before proceeding any further.

Single use Plastic as a whole needs to stop. I feel as though this should not need petitioning and should just be done, every bit of plastic we have ever made still exists today, killing animals and destroying environments. Let alone to mentions the chemicals in plastics that enters our body via food and beverages.

Tetrapaks are generally environmentally friendly, they save food waste and provide easy transportation when full or flat-packed. There is a recycling plant in Halifax who deal with 100% recycling of the components of Tetrapak. Much of Tetrapaks can be successfully recycled into useful products and do not need to be burnt with the black bin waste.

Will seriously increase the traffic and road use of Sandringham Gardens and I believe this will have huge implications on Health and Safety for the residents of Sandringham Gardens. I believe Pearce Homes have a duty of care to reconsider moving the access from Sandringham Gardens, and moving the access. This is due to the amount of children that use the Park, which is located on the main through road. This will cause massive health and safety issues for any users of the park. The road that would go through from Sandringham Gardens is too narrow to cope with potentially 176+ extra cars that would use this access (considering most households have 2 cars).

We oppose ANY building on this greenbelt land. We are trying to save our GREENBELT from an extensive plan to build 3000 LUXURY houses, shopping centre, cinema, office units and commercial units. The area in question is an area of immense beauty and has been untouched for generations - wildlife and countless plants, animals and insects live here, as well as providing peace and serenity for hundreds of local people. 3000 New luxury Home will decimate this land, cause extreme traffic problems and pollute the environment.The air around this area is already above the accepted level of pollution We would ask our representatives to contact the developer and urge them to focus on investing in developing the brown field sites and land designated for building in Airdrie This Proposed development will affect everyone, especially if you live in Carnbroe, Sikeside, Cairnhill, Brownsburn, Gartlea, Calderbank ,Chapelhall and Holytown Please visit or join our group on Facebook stop the europark development

The health of the environment is crucial to our ability to survive. Climate change is one of the biggest environmental issues facing us. In order to ensure future generations life on a healthy planet, the UK needs to make itself liable to act on the pledges made at the COP21 summit to cut carbon emissions. We cannot allow Brexit to cloud the importance of addressing the international impacts of climate change.
