Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 21150

Received: 15/03/2020

Respondent: Yare Valley Society

Representation Summary:

The rapid increase in population in the vicinity of the Yare Valley due to residential development at Bowthorpe, Cringleford, Little Melton and elsewhere has created an urgent need for additional recreational green space on the Valley to relieve pressure on the existing green space (many well-worn paths one indicator of over use).
A Country Park at Bawburgh Lakes should be given high priority. In the interim a policy should be put in place for an extension of the Yare Valley Walk and for managing the site’s habitats.
