Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20299

Received: 04/03/2020

Respondent: Mr Sebastian St John Clarke

Representation Summary:

This area referred to anonymously as 'Land between Shelfanger Road and Mount Street' has a name - Parish Fields and it has a special place in the hearts of many who live here. Objections to development now number well over 2,500 in a petition run by the Friends of Parish Fields and a huge number of people recognise Parish Fields as a precious and historic meadowland in the heart of Diss. It would be wonderful to believe that planners will take note of this strength of feeling when it comes to preserving part of Diss' dwindling green heritage.
