Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20963

Received: 14/03/2020

Respondent: Mrs Alison Bannister

Representation Summary:

The land between Shelfanger Road and Mount Street is "the only remaining known example of a detached parkland style landscape in a Norfolk Town" (Norfolk Gardens Trust report 1997/8 - English Heritage Inspector), available in the Millennium Library. It is rich in biodiversity and cultural history, associated with fine buildings in Mount Street. The Lawns/Parish Fields is highly valued by the community and once lost, is gone forever.
Please be aware of a brownfield site with a derelict Victorian school off The Causeway, unused for 35 years, which could possibly be considered for housing if required.
