The Fulford Tapestry

Experts have their say

The proposed access road, if it is built, will be adjacent to the Fulford SSSI.

This is an area where water birds, water meadow flora and protected mammals such as water voles, are protected. 

It is unrealistic to ignore the impact that the construction of a new junction with a significant new road will have on this protected zone. 

In particular, there is so much evidence that the Beck is a major conduit for mammalian wildlife (including bats), so the planned pumping station which is designed to try and prevent the housing from being flooded, will isolate the hinterland. It is absurd and dishonest for the proposes of this scheme to ignore this impact and the effect it will have on the hinterland, such as Heslington Common, which are a part of the Germany Beck/Fulford Ings ecosystem.    

This was an early map I produced when the access road was published to show how it did not coincide with the places that had been investigated by the archeologists.
