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, the number of students at UEA and visitors to Earlham Park increases. In the thirty years I have known this area, paths in the vicinity of UEA have become wider and more areas have become trampled. With such a pressure from visitors, we risk destroying 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.
