Help overturn the appalling planning decision for 50 houses in Finchingfield - it will forever change the most photographed picture postcard village in the UK.

The last harvest from this 4 acre field😪 Next year it will be concrete with 50 unnecessary houses generating 3000 tons of CO2 in the process. You need 180 acres of trees for 25 years to capture just the construction let alone the CO2 generation from the inhabitants. Why?? GREED

@essexhighways Please give urgent attention to Finchingfield! The Hill Group have ignored their approved site access and are using a single track lane...on a blind bend..in a 60 mph zone. This was brought to your attention over a month ago! Are you waiting for an accident to act?

@Donna95955754 @johntymckee2 @Nick_Unsworth @SwapAirfield @RosieP4 @michaelst1001 Enough is enough! Time for a change.
I hope @JamesCleverly stopped by the building site in finchingfield to admire the result of his party’s housing policy in full swing. A legacy to be proud of.

@johntymckee2 @Donna95955754 @Nick_Unsworth @SwapAirfield @RosieP4 @michaelst1001 This ‘limited sample’ has managed to totally misrepresent the opinions of the vast majority of local people. Were the people (or person) you asked just passing through?

Desperately sad…

https://t.co/IvltDoKjnx There is absolutely no need to make this bridge wider/rebuild it. It will destroy Finchingfields character. The only reason is to support more HGV traffic probably for the proposed Weathersfield Mega Prison. We have to stop this! @SwapAirfield @FBPSociety

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Wethersfield Airfield is a rural wildlife oasis at risk from 2 mega prisons - the biggest in Europe . The site is home to 401 species of invertebrates , 271 species of plants and 74 species of birds (inc many rare & protected species) @SwapAirfield

Having sat through a public inquiry all week my conclusion is the planning system is a total farce,locals have no say in their future whatsoever & that our communities, farmland,wildlife & environment is under enormous irreversible threat.Appalling imbalance of power and money.

Average loss of #agricultural land per year is 26,000 hectares per year over the last 20 years (Savills UK). Let's not lose another 650 to greenfield development. #harvest21

@AlokSharma_RDG How do you square this and similar developments with a net carbon zero future? Stop building unnecessary houses in rural areas that have no nearby jobs/infrastructure just to perpetuate growth & wealth. The planet needs less people not the capacity for more.

Developers boasting lovely views while ruining views for those living in the village and those approaching the village. This site was acknowledged to be harmful by council and inspector

Boris claims the government wants to develop brownfield sites rather than "build all over the countryside".

@RobertJenrick @ChrisPincher what has this development got to do with affordable or much needed housing? Your department used these as caveats to override local planning & democracy. The developer shows its purely about making money, not sustainable nor needed here. Shame on you

[saveferriby2020 🍃💚🍃 @saveferriby2020]

@savefinchingfld @JamesCleverly @RobertJenrick This is heartbreaking! I grew up in Steeple Bumpstead near to this village and it is truly a beautiful area, but this village nor the surrounding doesn’t have the infrastructure for these homes! The Local Plan isn’t a blank cheque to lazy, greedy developers... #sayno 🍃💚🍃

[Save Finchingfield 🍃💚🍃 @savefinchingfld]

@Farnsworth100 @RosieP4 @openDemocracy @Melindola @OurWestgate @CommunityPlann1 @ExplorerDale @SteveKempOP @RegenerationEX Makes you really wonder why these appeals are really granted totally against common sense and local democracy. Perhaps thats how you get to build on green fields that no-one would ever think would or should get planning.... no smoke without a fire.

@cllrgbutland Wow! These are the posters you instructed your street scene team to remove last week.

[Rosie P 🦇 🦎 🕷️ 🦭 🐌 🍃🌳🚲💧 @RosieP4]

@SiDedman @SiDedman Braintree Council also removed some of these pink posters. Council Leaders said on social media it was fly-posting but other posters were NOT removed. The posters don’t even tell people who to vote for!

[Ros Coward 🍃💚🍃 @RosCoward]

Is RobertJenrick in a parallel universe where greenfield sites are protected,brownfield sites used first & housing targets set by locals? The reality is trashing of countryside for unaffordable housing& unwanted infrastructure. And he's responsible @RobertJenrick @CPRE @RosieP4

@CityVoicEd For the next ten days... #votelocal #votepersonnotparty Here are the images

[Save Finchingfield 🍃💚🍃 @savefinchingfld]

@RobertJenrick @ChrisPincher @JamesCleverly when are you going to do something about this? You will held responsible for destroying the English Countryside. This is not sustainable development in a climate change world. Please act now before its too late!! https://t.co/LjeWvYsOPA
