Residents report injured, displaced, and even killed wildlife, blaming the project for a spike in roadkill and unexpected animal sightings. While the council defends the move as essential for future population growth, activists have taken them to court, arguing the environmental review ignored real ecological harm. Despite claims of wildlife-friendly fencing and future biodiversity plans, concerns linger — especially over how new lighting might disrupt owl habitats. With construction set to finish by 2027, this case could become a landmark battle over balancing urban expansion with nature’s survival.
