The application for Residential Development of 116 Dwellings at Park Hill Community Woodland and Ex Parkhill Colliery Application number 20/00319/FUL was approve by Wakefield District Council on 16th December 2021

Park Hill Community Woodland - 400 trees were planted by children in 2001 and a part of the development will be built on this Woodland and and in the cut down and  destroy the existing trees. It is our view that it is unacceptable for this to be built on, the trees must be preserved given this time of Climate Crisis this is utter madness.These 400 trees were planted by our children, they are 20 years old and are growing well. Losing these tree will have an adverse environmental impact. As a council how on earth can we encourage our children and volunteers to plant trees for them to only be built over some 20 years later. Absolutely unacceptable.We need to stop cutting down trees, not just in the rainforest, but here in the UK. People need to stop thinking about the short term, and look at the long term, there isn't much time left, before we will see our natural animals become extinct in our lifetime. The best way to fight climate change and pollution is to stop cutting down trees If you care please sign, not just for your children/grandchildren, but for all the other unique life that is part of this environment once it is gone it is gone for good. Money isn't everything, the wildlife that has evolved here is priceless and worth more than a quick economic fix
