I objected to the plans to site the new Rugby Club by the river in the UEA grounds, raising concerns about loss of green space, detrimental effects on wildlife, flooding risk and intrusion into the heart of the Yare Valley. Unfortunately, these concerns were ignored. Norwich Rugby Club now has permission to go ahead with this damaging development. It is vital that this is not granted the status of a ''development site'', otherwise there will be no onus on the Rugby Club to contain its work and respect the site.
