Site Proposals document

Representation ID: 14681

Received: 20/03/2018

Respondent: Norfolk Geodiversity Partnership

Representation Summary:

We conditionally object to Site 0133D, which includes a chalk pit of geological interest listed in the Norfolk Geodiversity Audit as site NCH04. It provides degraded exposures of the Pre-Weybourne Chalk sub-division, a horizon subject to ongoing palaeontological research by Portsmouth University. If development were granted we strongly request that plans be made conditional upon the provision of chalk exposures, as part of Green Infrastructure provision, thus enhancing the site's geological and also wildlife interest. We unconditionally object to Sites 0133E and 0133F, on grounds of negative impact on the landscape character of the Yare Valley.
