Community against Willow Tree wetlands development Grove Park
A community group is urging people to object to a proposed development that would destroy rare wetlands and vital habitats if it goes ahead.
The land in Grove Park, previously used by Willow Tree Riding School, is home to wetlands and species such as the common newt, frog, toad, migrant birds, hedgehogs, hairstreak butterflies, and bats.
The site, just behind Northbrook Park, came under threat in 2019 after owner Austringer Estates Ltd, a company previously registered off-shore under a different name, applied to build new stables.
But the application was refused because the proposed development would have had an “urbanising visual impact and harm the openness of the Metropolitan Open Land (MOL)”.

Trees destroyed hours before protection order kicks in
ALLOTMENT holders have been left disgusted after hundreds of trees were cut down and left lying on the ground a day before an order to protect them came into force.
The trees at St Mildred's Road allotments, Hither Green, are believed to be 20 years old and were introduced to reduce rain runoff. They have since become a haven for wildlife in the area.
Paul Olding, 38, of Pitfold Road, Lee, said: "I arrived on February 25 to see notices concerning a tree preservation order made by the council that came into effect on February 23, protecting the trees behind our allotments.
"It's something I wholeheartedly applaud for the reasons stated in the order.
"However,at that moment I also saw that virtually all the trees behind our allotments had been felled."
