From the Facebook page of EBBRAG:
This photo shows the wonderful view from Battlesbury Hill, looking south to Home Farm, and Bishopstrow and beyond. It is a green and pleasant scene many of us are familiar with and love.
If housing ever fills the fields of Home Farm, this view will be irreversibly changed forever. That would be a disaster for people and wildlife and would wreck heritage and archaeology. And the consequences of unsustainable building include flooding risk, pollution of the River Wylye, more problems because infrastructure needs not being met, the loss of green open space, etc., etc.
These are some of the reasons why EBBRAG have been fighting to get the Home Farm housing allocation removed from the Warminster Neighbourhood Plan 2.
EBBRAG has been tremendously spurred on by the great support of many people, not only those living at Boreham and Bishopstrow, but from all parts of Warminster, who recognise it for the beautiful countryside it is and for the health and other benefits the outdoor experience brings. And there has been further support from folks who come here especially to holiday, walk, ride and enjoy in many ways what is undoubtedly a stunning landscape.
EBBRAG thanks you all for your great support, signing letters, writing to make your feelings known, helping us canvas, filling out surveys, contributing to technical and conservation reports, and donating to the fighting fund. The EBBRAG committee appreciates all of this, more than words can say. We are also moved by the messages of thanks now coming in – EBBRAG supporters, you are the best!
Here’s just three of the messages we have received via email and Facebook:
