The local planning board has officially denied the housing application for Alton's Butterfly meadows. Seeing these 1,272 signatures translate into the permanent protection of this land remains a humbling reminder of what we can preserve when we choose to act.

Reaching one hundred signatures highlights how many people value the quiet biodiversity found within our butterfly meadows. This initial milestone reveals that the community truly shares a concern for the preservation of our local chalk downland.

Such a precious place to see and hear the wonders of our beautiful English countryside - please dont build on this amazing meadow - those living in Alton need somewhere to have their souls and minds renewed. Please keep this area for the good of our mental health as well as the wildlife.
I love this meadow, the view is great and it is a beautiful green breathing space for the people of Alton and around. I have seen many wild flowers including orchids. It is humming with insect life and butterflies.
Protecting the Butterfly Meadows has to be a priority. As Central Government pressurises Local Authorities to build more human housing, let's not forget that wild creatures need homes too. And we need them.
There is plenty of house building going on in Alton at the moment and now the old brewery site is going to be developed too, I don't see the sense in more building on a precious greenfield site. Let's protect this important site for ourselves and future generations to enjoy!
It is a beautiful site and we have walked our dog over it for many years - well before the signs went up. Such a shame it wasn't registered as a Village Green before it was sold for development - I am sure the application would have succeeded.
Alton can't take anymore! Development is killing the town.
This is happening all around this area, not just in Alton.

Butterfly habitats are fast disappearing. Please save this one. Alton is a special place on the edge of the South Downs National Park. Please keep it special not just for Jane Austen & Watercress Line enthusiasts but also for nature lovers & all who value biodiversity.
