We’ve received the following message from a Stanmer Village resident about the proposed plans in Stanmer Park:

Just to say thank you for motivating your supporters in objecting to the proposed works in Stanmer Park, particularly for the proposed new car park on the Patchway.

So you don’t miss this in the (huge) plans, the proposed new access road to this car park would cut across the mound in front of the church, where most of the trees would be lost.Irrespective of any permanent and intrusive changes to this historically sensitive and heavily protected area, this would also result in the loss of roosting and habitat for the bats and birds that use this area, including the remaining birds of prey in the Park who forage on the rats in the barn area.
