I wish to put on record my opposition to any planning for re-development of the Meadow at Bungay Road, Poringland - Ref: GNLP0316. This area of meadowland would appear totally unsuitable for housing as I am aware it is very wet, boggy land with a stream running through it and if housing were put on this land, one wonders were the water would go and I do fear we could have a flooding issue.In addition, the meadow is an area of natural beauty, with a great deal of wildlife, - deer, hedgehogs, frogs & newts and many species of birds including owls, buzzards and kestrels. Indeed we have a nest box at the end of our garden which looks out over the meadow that is home to a pair of kestrels who have nested there for the past three years with the chicks fledging. I hear much about hedgehogs, owls and kestrels being more and more endangered and it's no wonder when their habitats are being destroyed with the building of more and more houses. I would like to be kept informed of this proposed planning as I would vehemently contest it as I am sure all local residents would. I am all for the building of new homes but not on natural green-belt land such as this - it would be a disaster!
