We wish to object to this site proposal on the grounds of its negative impact on the landscape character and countryside setting of the Attlebridge Hills and the Wensum Valley.

Also, we note that this site includes a chalk pit of geological interest, listed in the Norfolk Geodiversity Audit as site BRL01. It has been subject of geological research since the 19th century as a significant local exposure of the Cretacous Campanian chalk of the Gonioteuthis quadrata zone, with many flints and a few paramoudras (Blake 1888) and a rich fossil fauna recorded by Rhodes and Rowe (see Wood, C (1988). 'The Stratigraphy of the Chalk of Norwich'. Bull Geol Soc Norfolk, no. 38).

However, if development were granted we request that plans be made conditional upon providing geological exposures of chalk as part of a nature conservation area. These could meaningfully be included as a valuable part of Green Infrastructure provision, and would conserve the site's geological as well as wildlife interest.
