With regard to the ecological survey to determine the extent of Meadow Saxifrage within the NE corner of the site,obviously as the plant flowers in high summer this survey would have to be carried out in the summer. I would like to point out that I sent photographs with my original reponse regarding this species, which I found was widely distributed over a large area, not just the NE corner as detailed.
Once again I remind you as in my previous correspondence of the diverse amount of flora and fauna in this area. I would describe the area consisting of fields, hedgerows,ancient walls, bushes and woodland as a 'buffer zone' for wildlife between Scout Scar and the urban spread of southern Kendal.
In the press there are constant reminders of waning populations of many species, is there sufficient justification for this irreversible loss of habitat?
