Cllr Denise Carlo on behalf of Norwich Green Party City Group

We object because the site lies in a prominent location on a greenfield site, adjacent to the River Yare. A County Wildlife Site lies at the northern boundary. The site falls with the Norwich Southern Bypass Landscape Protection Zone (NSBLPZ), which is designated because of its visibility from the road towards an area of open rural character which is important to the landscape setting of Norwich. The site is protected by Policy DM 4.6 (Landscape Setting of Norwich) of the adopted South Norfolk Development Management Policies Document 2015 seeks to protect the openness of the NSBLPZ, and where possible, to enhance the landscape setting of the southern bypass.

The public transport links are poor and development in this location would be reliant on access by car, van and lorry.
