Representation Summary:

I object there is already a lot of the green space in that area being built on don't destroy what little woodland there is please. The uea is supposed to be environmentally conscious here they are destroying more woodland and animal habitats. I along with many other dog walkers use this space 7 days a week and in the busy summer months allows you to walk your dog away from picnics around the lake.

I use this space 7 days a week along with many other dog walkers. There is very little safe accessible access to a dog walk that dogs and children can enjoy especially with access to the river. This side of the uea allows dog walkers in the summer to avoid the congestion and picnic areas of the uea lake if they wish to. There is not even close to the amount of car parking space needed if everyone was forced to use earlham park and it would amount to more dog on dog aggression as there would not be the space for everyone to enjoy. I think it's disgusting that a supposedly environmentally conscious university would allow destruction of so much woodland and green space for property development. The land near the rugby pitches has already been sold and they plan to destroy much of the green space there will be nothing left for my niece and nephew to enjoy they are 3 and 1 respectively. Please don't allow this to happen I love going here.
