00:00I'm Leslie Hawley and this is Hunter. I'm Ian Carroll and I'm from the Friends of Sheep
00:16Hush Local Nature Reserve. As you can see this was once an urban forest that was planted
00:24using public money. In the last month it's been completely destroyed as though a bomb
00:30has hit it. We're campaigning to try and extend Sheep Hush into this area as part of the Nature
00:39Reserve area. The landowners have a different proposal to build 550 houses across the site.
00:46Many residents on this estate are opposing this in the Sandor Local Plan. They don't
00:51want extra housing on here at all. They want to keep it green and those are within our
00:57proposals as well. There are rare butterflies on this site and we think it should be protected
01:03and preserved for future generations, not the avarice of landowners.
