Astro turf gardens

Hello I was wondering if anyone else is concerned about the number of gardens in the UK having the lawn removed and Astro turf being laid?

I am seeing it more and more in the area I live in and I think it must be having some impact on wildlife. How can birds and hedgehogs forage for worms and insects? I am curious to know whether this is an actual issue or am I worrying over nothing? 

Thanks
