Respondent: Mr Lee Fairweather

Representation Summary:

I object to the full development of this green space. While the expansion of the Health Centre maybe a necessity, to fully develop this green space would be a huge shame for the residents of Diss. Green spaces within urban areas are a huge benefit to the environment, filtering pollutants and dust from the air. Providing shade, lower temperatures and reducing erosion of soil into waterways. As well as providing a healthy habitat for wildlife and plants, if public access could be improved to this area it could help to improve the general health of humans, reducing stress levels, depression.
