Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 21356

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Mr Justin Brooks

Representation Summary:

When there are so many other reasonable alternatives for development in and around Diss, questions need to be asked why GNLP considers Parish Fields a ‘reasonable alternative’ site for development especially as it is considered and important open local space and listed in Norfolk Historic Environment Record as NHER33463.
I suspect the dangling carrot of an expanded Medical Centre is clouding judgement. Any development or expansion would have a negative impact on the conservation area and destroy wildlife with the loss of wood-pasture and parkland.
