This site is very important in landscape terms for separating the Brewer's Green part of Roydon and the western side of the housing estates in Diss/Roydon East. It has visual landscape value as a 'green belt' buffer, and its hedges provide elements of ecological connectivity as a green wildlife corridor. That being said, the site may partly suitable for housing development. Existing housing in the Factory Lane area of Roydon enjoys unproblematic vehicular and pedestrian access, so it is a priori unreasonable to conclude that site 2104 could not be provided for in a similar way. Any development here would have to be carried out in such a way as to enhance ecological connectivity and reduce visual impact of the development when seen from Factory Lane.
