Moving the green belt boundary south means losing green belt and access to walking space which will be even more important after the Worts causeway development increases the population using the fields under consultation. These are already extremely frequently used .Development will mean loss of valuable natural habitats(see John Meed) and increased risk of flooding which is already substantial and problematic on the Ninewells estate.Surrounding housing with campus development will increase noise and disruption to domestic sites. Physical proximity of units of the biomedical site is not essential when virtual communication is more time efficient. As the size of the site increases , travelling between units will cause more traffic, even if all foot or bicycle.The proposals would disrupt footpaths joining Ninewells and the Beechwoods where joining up a wider swathe of green space would be very desirable.Ninewells reserve ecology would be detrimentally affected, especially after the loss of land to the rail developments.
