This as important message to all birders who know and visit Pomona.
There is another planning application for Pomona. Ref is 93779/FUL/18 so if you go to Trafford council's website, search planning applications you should find it and comment whether you object or approve.
Peel already cleared most of the scrub before they submitted the planning application probably because they know they can get away with it and because they think there is less chance of objection from the public.
Also, if you have any biological records please submit them to GMEU as soon as you can.

Pomona Docks, the site on Salford Quays with the highest biodiversity levels, currently under threat
All Salford Quays birders know how amazing this site is, for breeding birds, passage migrant birds, for flora and bees, and and what a green gem it is, just a mile from Manchester City Centre
There is a Save Pomona campaign that has lots of public support
A change.org petition, in about 2 weeks, has over 1,500 signatures
There is growing support for the area to become an Eden Project For The North
