Protect Rural Farnham

I cannot see how this road would make any difference to the traffic in Farnham. The route is not a logical way to avoid the town and the volume of traffic would not be significantly reduced. It would also put additional pressure on the existing bypass which struggles to cope at the best of times at various pinch points. Use and adapt the existing bypass and protect a vital green belt area. The flora and fauna that would be lost, not to mention livelihoods are far more valuable long term. We should be working to protect these areas and not destroy them.

Building new roads and housing developments goes totally against government's carbon reduction and biodiversity net gain goals. Destruction of any of our increasingly pressured "wild" habitat is extremely destructive and absolutely impossible to mitigate for. Focus should be on greening and improving sustainability of current infrastructure if the goal is truly to reduce carbon consumption in the UK.

Much greater value should be placed on environmental impact and on forested and agricultural land and local biodiversity over motor vehicles and bad town planning widen existing roads if necessary stagger rush hours, but creating new massive concrete structures is no longer a sustainable plan.

Please don't destroy this beautiful area - changes made to the current bypass would be a much better solution as would encouraging public transport, bikes and walking.

Please manage existing transport routes/methods to the fullest extent before any more works like this take place. This damage will be irreparable

Sustainable building should be the future

Don't destroy any more of our world! This may seem insignificant to those making money from this development but this is all we have!

Please don’t ruin our town

The proposed western bypass will not resolve traffic issues, redirecting the traffic will cause new issues especially for residents on the other side of Farnham and surrounding villages. Due to the train line and future shopping centre we need to develop the Farnham bypass and except the disruption for a few years. Please do not ruin a beautiful bio-diverse area, the very reason people live and move to our delightful market town.

The world is very different now and local wildlife and green spaces never more needed - we have already taken so much and we need to put a stop to it now

Please let common sense prevail. Do not let traffic requirements prevail over the need for preserving such vital green space that is our heritage and so necessary for future generations.

The western bypass will destroy the historic St Swithun’s Way, and adversely affect The Pilgrims Way and the Haroway - all ancient and beautiful routes full of biodiversity and traditional farmland which we will never get back

This ancient woodland needs protecting

We cannot see more destruction of such beautiful and important woodland and fields. What will Farnham look like in a century from now if we carry on building at this rate?

Stop the bypass

It has been demonstrated for many years that building new roads increases traffic. Climate and ecological emergencies demand that we all make less journeys by car. The infrastructure project must coax local people out of their cars and support active transport.

Too much environmental damage would be caused for insufficient benefit

The farm has been there many years providing employment and more importantly it is a family home !.

Make the existing bypass work instead.

Very little gain will be made from this expensive and disruptive project.
