This is a rare and an historical packet of land in the centre of Diss, being very attractive and undulating wood-pasture and parkland with many trees and a proliferation of wildlife. This should be preserved for the residents of Diss to enjoy.
Brownfield sites should be employed for house-building before greenfield ones, and there are several such brownfield sites in Diss that could/should be considered.
This is a rare and an historical packet of land in the centre of Diss, being very attractive and undulating wood-pasture and parkland with many trees and a proliferation of wildlife. I understand that this is over 200 years old.
This should continue to be preserved for the residents of Diss; indeed, ideally, it should be purchased by the Town Council and residents should have some, if limited, access so that we can all enjoy this wonderful central resource.
So far as I am aware, the question of expanding the Diss Health Centre has been "on the cards" for several years and there appears to be no motivation (from the NHS/Health Trust) to implement any such growth.
Brownfield sites should be employed for house-building before greenfield ones, and there are several such brownfield sites in Diss that could be considered.
As a resident of Diss, I request that this potential travesty should not pass planning stages.
