I really object to this land being used for development. I, and many of my neighbours and friends, really value this green space and use it almost every day. It gets a tremendous amount of use by a broad spectrum of society - you only have to visit it at the weekend to see that, and it is clear from the over-worn nature of the paths that we need more space like this, not less. It is a valuable community resource just as important as housing or academic facilities - being able to access this wild area makes a massive difference to my mental health. It is well known that access to wildlife and feeling connected to nature is extremely beneficial to mental and physical health of society in general. These wild areas on the edges of the city are what makes Norwich and the UEA special and unique, and attracts people to the city and university. Once we build on them they will be gone forever.

This area is extremely good for wildlife, GNLP0133 D-F is adjacent to priority habitat (coastal and floodplain grazing marsh)and is full of many species of birds, wild flowers, butterflies and other pollinators. The area forms part of the Yare Valley Green Infrastructure Corridor and reducing this area could impact all along the corridor, affecting its integrity, and impair its ability to function effectively.

I understand the need for development, but there are other sites in the city which could be used that would have a much lower impact on people and wildlife.
