In readiness for the developers to move in, the old Steyning line railway embankment in Shoreham has been cleared of all vegetation.

It was a wildlife haven and now all that has been lost. I recently saw a catalogue from a wildlife trust which details the flora and fauna of the area which ran to many pages. How can such wholesale destruction of an area like this be allowed without any prior consultation?
