Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20883

Received: 13/03/2020

Respondent: Mr Daniel Bonson

Representation Summary:

This land is one of the very few spaces left for nature and wildlife left in Diss, due to to the great number of building projects that have already been undertaken in Diss. It provides a valuable breathing space not only for the current residences surrounding it, but for wildlife, including Owls, many species of Bat, Songbirds, Deer etc.
It also helps to mitigate for the high temperatures in the centre of the town during the summer months, which appear to be increasing year on year due to climate change. This land is also central to a conservation area.
