Respondent: Mr Christopher Groves

Representation Summary:

I object to the promotion of the sites mentioned below which, if developed, would result in a loss of green space and consequent impact on the wellbeing of humans and wildlife.

GNLP00133E and F - UEA should not be allowed to build on these open spaces.

Important to protect the Yare Valley Infrastructure Corridor as a valuable amenity for local residents. It should be expanded rather than reduced. There are sufficient development sites proposed outside the Corridor to meet growth needs without impinging on the integrity of the Corridor.

GNLP0140A - additional car parking and other: (the permission granted to Norwich Rugby Club is bad enough and this would just make the situation worse.

GNLP00133E and F - UEA should not be allowed to build on these open spaces

GNLP0244 - UEA should not be allowed to destroy this woodland which is used by local people

With reference to the above, it is important for the Yare Valley Infrastructure Corridor to be protected. It is a valuable amenity popular with local residents as can be seen by the condition of the paths. Rather than reduce its size, every effort should be made to increase it so as to meet the needs of a growing population from nearby housing developments. The large number of development sites which were proposed and situate outside the Corridor should be more than enough to meet the growth needs for housing and employment without impinging on the integrity of the Corridor.
