Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20070

Received: 23/02/2020

Respondent: Dr Ksenija Ivir-Ashworth

Representation Summary:

I would like to strongly support the creation of a country park in this location and unreservedly welcome the conservation management plan. It highlights the importance of this location's environment and biodiversity whilst also providing some public access in the form of footpaths and cycle routes. The provision of more open green spaces are called for in view of the new residential developments in Bowthorpe and Cringleford, for example. In addition, the proposed country park could help to reduce the pressure from informal recreation in the Yare Valley.
