Site Proposals document

Representation ID: 16335

Received: 22/03/2018

Respondent: Norfolk Wildlife Trust

Representation Summary:


This is an area of green space, which we understand is currently protected, as Local Open Space in the Local Plan and listed as a landscape park in Norfolk heritage record. This area is also likely to have local biodiversity value and could be considered as Priority Habitat Wood-pasture and Parkland, as referenced in the NERC Act and NPPF. In addition, veteran trees may be present on site. In our view, owing to biodiversity constraints and the fact that this area contributes to the green infrastructure of the town, this site should not be allocated

Kind regards
