This field is a unique area of beauty in a town location. It was used for sledding in the winter and is currently home to deer and owls. The track down the side of the youth centre has ancient Yew trees in it which would vastly narrow any access. These tree are the subject of TPO's
A development on this site would render the town another ubiquitous mass of housing developments. Diss has so much going for it as a town.
Why not use the area as a natural space that can be open to the public. Children need access to nature and it is well documented that it it essential for positive mental health.
How will our children connect to the natural work if they can't access it ?
