Hello all,I'm a bit late with this message,as the building work has been going on for a little while now,but I'd like to thank the hundreds of you who took the time to sign and share this petition,sadly we lost the fight against Halsall homes and their development,these 'affordable' homes appear to be starting at 325k,but more importantly another lovely green area has been concreted over,and many trees have been chopped down,the wildlife will suffer,and has already,as I've been made aware that badger sets had been filled in on the field,this makes me very sad,its very disheartening to know that even when you're fighting to save our environment these people always seem to win,but I hope it won't stop anyone from at least trying to save our green areas,woodland and wildlife in the future,thanks all again

Stop Halsall Homes/Design Development Ltds development being built off Tamerton Foliot Rd Plymouth
This campaign has ended.
Stop this development from happening
Why is this important?
Halsall homes are proposing an 'affordable' (which they are not based on average wage) housing development on top of the horse field on Tamerton Foliot Road destroying protected woodland and endangered wildlife between and including Quarry Wood and Whitleigh Wood PL6 Plymouth. Quarry Wood backs onto my and 50 other homes in the Looseleigh Derriford area. This wood houses a stream that leads down to the river Tamar, countless beautiful trees, plants, including oak trees, holly, and species of wildlife. This wood and field is home to owls, buzzards, birds of prey, deers, pheasants, smooth newts, badgers, foxes and bats, hedgehogs and slow worms, which are endangered and therefore protected by laws, to name a few. This wood used to be part of Whitleigh Wood Nature Reserve before the road was built, concluding that it houses the same protected and endangered trees, plants and species of wildlife that the original boundaries of the Nature Reserve now protects. This area is tranquil and beautiful. We do not want to look out and see houses instead of trees at the end of our gardens. We don't want the added noise pollution. We do not want the stream destroying the end of our gardens because of the added water run off from the development. I want to protect our environment, trees and wildlife. I do not want the added pollution and congestion on already busy roads, and additional pressure on surrounding schools and gp surgeries. How can you cut down all those beautiful trees that go up along the road and destroy the homes of our wildlife for the sake of houses? We need to protect our trees, we need them to breathe! We need to protect our wildlife. We need to stop this development from happening, so please sign this and help fight it. Thank you
