Object. This is a greenfield site that contributes greatly to the rural 'feel' of Townhouse Rd. It provides long views to the Tud valley. Its ecological value has almost certainly been underestimated due to a lack of rarities, whereas in fact all permanent grassland is of ecological importance, especially rough grassland. This is especially so when there are links directly to river valley floodplains / grazing marshes, as is the case here. It should not be built on.

The GNLP Costessey summary states that "parts of 0206 and 0284 together..." are regarded as among the sites with lesser constraints. BUT your summary does not give any information about 0206. This is consistent with your online consultation generally - it is extremely time consuming and difficult to trawl through the site codes, work out what parcels of land they belong to (or vice versa), and then find a way of commenting.

If the GNLP was seriosu about discovering the public's views it would have made the online response process far more user-friendly and the section of the website that shows the maps with site numbers should have been made interactive, so that by clicking on any site number, details about it appear, eg: greenfield, brownfield, woodland, TPOd trees, CWS or adjacent to a CWS, landscape category, etc etc. I shouldn't need to tell you this - it's your job!

I sent you a message on this two weeks ago but have had no response, hence resorting to putting it here.
