Respondent: Norwich Green Party

Representation Summary:

GNLP2123 Adjoining Sainsburys Centre - submitted by Cllr Denise Carlo, on behalf of Norwich Green Party

The proposed site would present a further intrusion into the Norwich Yare Valley. It would also represent a further loss of green open space at the University site and adjoining grounds of the former Blackdale School which has been gradually whittled away by development. Maintaining green space is essential for mitigating against climate change (cooling the urban area, prevention of riverine and surface water flooding),for biodiversity, amenity, recreation and for protecting the setting of the University buildings and listed buildings.
