The loss of green space and its impact on the wellbeing of humans and wildlife. The large number of development sites being proposed outside the River Yare valley should more than meet the expected growth needs for housing and employment, without risking damage to what local plans identify as a Strategic Green Infrastructure Corridor. The present green corridor is much used and is under increasing pressure as the surrounding area becomes more built up. We risk losing an important asset to Norwich. Rather than reduce the amount of green space, every effort should be made to increase its extent, to meet the needs of a growing population from adjacent housing developments.
