I am objecting to potential development sites in the area of the Yare Valley and in particular upstream from Cringleford bridge to the Watton Road (B1108). This includes those designated GNLP0461, GNLP0244, GNLP0133 E&F, GNLP0140 A,B&C.
These sites fall within the Yare Valley 'protected' area which is one of the few green lungs left within the city. It is important as a habitat for wildlife and informal recreation. Any reduction in the wildlife habitat will have an impact on adjoining areas which will become overpopulated leading to a reduction in numbers of those birds and animals hoping to find a new place to live. Also any development in the areas designated GNLP0133E&F will destroy the link between Eaton park and the Yare Valley which in the past we had been led to believe would always be maintained.
Furthermore, when the University was built on the site overlooking the Yare Valley they, the University, undertook to maintain the Yare Valley and not to encroach further. Since then they have done nothing but erect more and more buildings blighting the area ever more.
