Joanna Brickell, who lives near Stanbrook Abbey Hotel in Callow End, said the proposed location of the building would affect the nearby birds and bats, as well as the plantlife. She said: “There are 26 acres within the Abbey Enclosure where the development could be built. “Former hotel managers said that the development would be in the old disused wing and stable block of the Abbey.
