Respondent: Mrs. Karen Vincent

Representation Summary:

Rep made against: GNLP0506
As Member Champion for Heritage at Broadland DC, I am extremely concerned by the visual impact of the proposed tower block on the historic parkland of Catton Park. Catton Park is registered Grade II* in the English Heritage Register of Park and Gardens of Special Historic Interest [Norfolk] and the first commission of celebrated landscape gardener Humphry Repton. One of the key principles of Repton's design was the framing of the view towards Norwich Cathedral and if the proposed tower block is built it would irrevocably damage this historic view.
