Rejected petition Please let us keep our green spaces and don’t allow the building in hellingly!

There is a building proposal Planning ref: WD/2025/6509/SO of 300 houses to be put in place instead of a beautiful field which is used regularly for dog walkers with a stunning view, with lots of wild life in the area.
Our community would appreciate the proposal being refused to save our village.
