I strenuously object to building development on this site (GNLP0133-E) as this would be a grievous intrusion into the Yare Valley green space and the existing wildlife would most certainly be compromised. Development of this space would be completely contrary to the stated aims of the Norwich Development Management Policy and the draft GNLP Strategy. Greater Norwich must be prepared to stand by its green infrastructure commitments and saying NO to this development would be a clear signal to developers.

There is continued emphasis being placed on green infrastructure in its various roles of sustaining wildlife abundance and diversity, providing green space for local community well-being, and combatting the impact of climate change. The paths in the Yare Valley are already over-used. We must uphold existing and drafted proposed policies which seek to conserve and enhance green infrastructure. The Yare Valley is of utmost importance to me: I spend many hours in this green space each and every week.

I am requesting that the site be withdrawn fro the list of sites for development.

I have hundreds of photographs of the Yare Valley that demonstrate the variety of wildlife that calls this area home and of the plants and fungus that thrive here: please preserve this beautiful green space.
