I am writing as a local resident to object to the proposal of the development on Cringleford Wood and Gurney Lane field. I have lived here for many years and have seen the enjoyment of so many people as they walk through this most beautiful part of Cringleford.
The idea of losing this delightful area to mass buildings saddens me very much. There will be so much wildlife destroyed if the development is allowed to go ahead.
A few years ago a previous proposed development on the Gurney Lane field was very fortunately declined. Gurney Lane is not wide enough to safely take any more traffic and the pavement on one side is also not wide enough to let two people walk side by side - far too narrow.
Why does such a lovely and delightful area have to be destroyed? To protect the natural landscape and wildlife habitats of the Y are Valley is so important. I do strongly oppose to any development that would detract from its natural qualities.
Development on these sites would have a devastating effect on the Yare Valley as a green space.
