Petition to oppose the planned expansion of Sandy Beaches Caravan Site

It totally undermines the ringing/scientific studies in Church Field carried out by Spurn Bird Observatory and opposes the considerable investment that the Observatory has recently made to make this area more suitable for breeding Tree Sparrows and migrant birds; • The visual impact will be horrendous and unsightly in this unspoilt picturesque landscape which is part of the Heritage Coast as these fields are slightly more raised than the surrounding land the caravans will be viewable throughout the Spurn area; • Habitat loss, although they may argue they are creating more habitat off the existing site - Just as a Warning - the site was developed to the North without planning permission and despite losing their appeal the caravans have only just started to be removed in order to support the current application, we would question whether the old site will ever be moved and so no new habitat be created. • It will without doubt have an adverse effect on the Little Tern colony at Easington Lagoons, by increasing visitor pressure to this already sensitive area, the last 2 years have been our most successful in fledging young birds but if more caravan owners began using this area this would have a significant impact on the success of the colony; • Increased Light and noise pollution will have a profound effect on breeding and migrating birds; • The bird observatory have just purchased an additional piece of land (at a significant cost to the observatory) directly opposite the proposed development to further the cause of improving suitable habitat for breeding and migratory birds to rest up and feed in before they continue their migration. This proposal will have a serious adverse effect on these plans and put the breeding and migrant birds under increasing pressure.

Please do not allow this very important migrant bird area be lost to a developing caravan park with all noise and litter and dogs that come with it - disturbance for these tired migrant birds would be catastrophic

please leave our nature alone

prerve the few remaining wild places on an already very developed coast

When it's gone it's gone! Can't replace.

This has to be stopped

Any developements should concentrate on areas already built upon such as the Blue Bell. There will be little wild habitat left if the YWT plans get the go-ahead !

The future of britains premier bird observatory cannot be allowed to be negatively impacted by environmentally insensitive development. The relevant planning authority should refuse this planning application on the grounds that it will harm the work of the wildlife and bird organisations that help provide vital evidence of the state of the UK's wildlife

This would be not only detrimental to wildlife but would ruin the view of this unique area

Please keep Spurn a wild and wonderful place

Kilnsea and Spurn are an area of outstanding national importance to wild birds and people. Please don't degrade it.

It would be against all that spurn stands for if this development went ahead.

To much impact on wildlife and the natural environment

Spurn is unique and a valuable sight for wild life and birds. Its monstrous to threaten it with unnecessary caravans

This planned expansion has to be stopped!

The expansion will have a very detrimental effect on the landscape of Spurn and should not be allowed.

In an area that is so important for wildlife, particularly migrant birds, but also, deer, etc, this expansion should not be allowed.

please help to protect this very important site

stop them

nature should come first
