Leave this site to nature. If you have to build anywhere, start with Brown-field sites. Alton Town Council must listen to its residents and act accordingly

This is a very special place, build homes elsewhere at affordable prices and rents for our local young people

It’s utter sacrilege to destroy this beautiful haven of tranquility which provides much needed sanctuary for our local wildlife and is rich in its diversity of beautiful wild flowers and bird song. Please don’t let Alton become just one more anonymous sprawling urbanised town, keep Treloars Meadows for the recreational use of residents and visitors alike enabling them to enjoy the amazing views and its peace .

The plans will destroy our local wildflower and butterfly meadow, full of all sorts of wildlife. PLEASE think again and leave this habitat alone

We have just had the following from Alan Titchmarsh
"In our struggle to provide the necessary homes for our own population, we really must not overlook the housing problems facing the natural world, for while our homes are increasing in number, theirs are shrinking - thanks to our insatiable appetite on our part for building not only on greenfield sites, but also on sites that are of botanical and entomological importance and significance.. The two things are not mutually incompatible, but we do need to realise that building on sites such as Alton's Butterfly Meadow reduce the rich diversity of our native wildlife. We cannot reclaim them once they are gone. I do hope that basic common sense will prevail and prevent yet another of our local wildlife sites from being swallowed up."

The people making these decisions are not those that have lived m, worked and enjoyed Alton for their lifetimes. Don’t mess this up planners - you cannot info these changes you are about to make.

A fantastic area for dog walking, full of wildlife. Would be such a loss to the community if developed.

It’s important to save our wildlife and not build in every spot of land.

Alton has more than met its quota for new homes. Leave the meadow for families both existing and new to the town to enjoy!

Too much habitat degradation is having a disastrous effect on our native wildlife particularly our pollinating species. This piece of natural meadow should be lefts just that.

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!

Lord Mayor Treloar gave the local people a wonderful hospital and surrounding land. The council have failed to maintain the whole hospital and beautiful surrounding area and now wants to destroy more of the Meadows. Please stop NOW and think of future generations and the benefits nature and wildlife have on all ages.

We have to stop the destruction of our meadows and wildlife. In local area loss of habitat has increased dramatically with so much building work and we MUST preserve some of the character of the area.

We need to preserve our green areas around Alton and stop concreting over them. With the Corrs Brewery development, houses can be built there instead.
a beautiful meadow. we must save it.
