Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 21163

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Mr David Whatley

Representation Summary:

GNLP0341.
This land has a NAME, and a HISTORY.
Called 'The Lawn' it has been grazing meadows for over 400 years. A landscape feature which is unique and to be found nowhere else in the whole of the county of Norfolk.
'Opening up' and giving public access are not acceptable justifications for building on almost half of this important local open space. The integrity of the emparked landscape feature will be destroyed, and something which contributes to the charm and local distinctiveness of Diss will be lost.
34 bungalows can easily be fitted in elsewhere around the periphery of Diss.
