Respondent: Norwich Green Party

Representation Summary:

We object to elements of development on this land that would have undue impact on the river valley.

Full text:

We have no comment on sites A-C.

We feel that some development of site D would be appropriate, but the site-specific policy should be written to restrict development only to that which will not unduly impact upon the character of the river valley, and the setting of the listed UEA campus. Building scales, particularly towards the lake, should be smaller in scale, and should be landscaped appropriately to reduce the impact on the lake's ecosystem and provide biodiversity.

We object to site E being allocated for accommodation or any other intensive development. We feel that the character of the river valley should be maintained, and therefore this site should not be intensified beyond its current level, which includes significant amounts of greenery and the river valley beyond. We believe that the university could make good use of this land without intensifying the use by only building small individual units, of one, perhaps two stories, with plenty of open space between.

We object to the allocation of site F. This should be retained as a strategic gap between Norwich's built up area and the Yare Valley.
