It is somewhat dismaying that there are proposals to identify Parish Fields (PF) as potential building land in Diss. It seems such a proposal is an ‘easy-fix’ to meet quotas and deadlines set out by government.
The authorities intend ‘Growing Stronger Communities Together’. This proposal is surely not conducive in encouraging such behaviour in Diss.

Apparently the GNLP will;
1. ‘Identify land that should be protected from development.’ Surely PF is a clear example?
2. The plan will ensure the ‘Infrastructure includes a wide range of facilities and services such as: green spaces..’ Again, PF is a clear example?
These objections are not simply a matter of nimbyism but of common sense. That is why the statement that ‘new green spaces’ will be provided, and landscapes and nature sites improved is somewhat puzzling and costly. PF is already in existence and meeting those needs.
