In support this development should not go ahead. It is a County Wildlife Site and is totally inappropriate for housing development. There is a climate emergency and this site offers proof of a rich biodiversity which should be protected. Also planning permission went against local opposition and Broadland District Council. Thorpe Woodlands is home to a rich and varied ecosystem. This includes rare plants such as Chaffweed and Allseed and over 40 identified ancient woodland indicators such as Scaly Male Fern and is an important site for the Soprano Pipistrelle Bat. Any building on this site will threaten this ecosystem and will close down any chance of restoring the native habitat. The process of rewilding would help to lock down carbon in the atmosphere and enable native plants and animals to recover and thrive. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggested a 10-year target for carbon emission reductions. We need vison and change to find solutions to the current climate emergency and to rapid biodiversity loss.
