Just making this a standalone comment as well for everyone defending the development:
Check, even if it is further away, it is still going to be covering up a large part of that green slab down there. This is setting a precedent, how much of that slab are we going to lose if we are constantly ok with taking another piece because a closer one already exists?
Its just a shame. They are likely throwing that name around because the animals that live in that stretch are likely migrating over the whole green are. Robberg IS going to be affected by this development, ecosystems arent buildings, they are alive. Its like saying your head wont care if we remove your foot, and its fine because you already lost a hand
