Representation Summary:

These green spaces are valued by many people, and you will not only be destroying the homes of many creatures, you will also be affecting peoples lives by taking their enjoyment of these spaces away.

The University of East Anglia prides itself on its green campus, providing students a place to enjoy nature and relax from the stresses of university work. Tearing down and developing these green spaces will have serious adverse affects to the mental and physical wellbeing of these students, but also to the reputation of UEA. These areas are habitats for all sorts of animals, and with the university providing world class degrees in ecology and conservation, while being associated with one of the best plant research institutes in the world, destroying these habitats will also destroy the stature of the university. Furthermore, many members of the public who live in the area use these green spaces for walking their dogs, exercising, or just to get out and enjoy nature. This development is an awful idea, as these green spaces are valued much more, by many people, than any buildings will be that replace them.
