Bewildered by Whitehouse Farm development demonstrating lack of regard for wildlife and environment and contradicts the Council's declaration of a Climate Change emergency.

I share key areas of concern identified in the Local Plan Review as cited below:
Development proposals in or adjacent to areas identified as potential Strategic Wildlife Corridors as identified in the Strategic Wildlife Corridors Background Paper should demonstrate that they will not affect the potential or value of the wildlife corridor or compromise on environmental quality, and ensure high standards of construction in accordance with the Council’s declaration of a Climate Change Emergency.
I am, therefore, bewildered by the White House Farm housing development having received planning approval on a highly valued greenfield site opposed by many concerned residents reported in the local press demonstrating a complete disregard for the value of wildlife and environmental quality and contradicting the Council’s declaration of a Climate Change Emergency.
