We ask Richmond Council to reject English Heritage's current application(s) for the following reasons:

• The felling of 347 trees within the park
• The possibility of destroying 'the Arcadian view' (protected by Act of Parliament 1902)
• Terrible impact of increased traffic and pollution within surrounding roads and area
• Endangering wildlife and some protected species
• Devastating effect on Grade II listed houses abutting proposed new 140 seat café
• Destroying the treasured peace and tranquillity of Marble Hill House  Gardens
• Estimated increase of 40,000 visitors per annum to a projected  increase 1,000,000 per annum!
