Sir,

Of course Miller Homes insists that the land at Middle Battenhall Farm is suitable for development (Tom Edwards Worcester news 9th April).

They are builders,and only interested in one thing. Profit!

But at least 207 people who took part in a survey calling for the farm to be protected disagree, as do 137 nearby residents who signed a petition calling on the proposal to be shelved. Worcester City Council have closed its own public consultation,which reveals 68 different written objections from the public.

Can all these people be wrong? I think not!

I sincerely hope that common sense will prevail and a few bureaucrats not be allowed to overide public opinion.
