We support the approach to the natural environment.
The proposed new settlement Honingham Thorpe is well related to the existing green infrastructure network to the west of Norwich and it is proposed to link with this and enhance it. A comprehensive multi-functional green infrastructure network would be delivered within the site and form the spine of the development.
A key element of the proposed new settlement would be the delivery of a new country park to the south, along the Yare River Valley. Whilst the natural features are already present public access to these is poor. The proposals would help to alleviate visitor pressure on Natura 2000 sites elsewhere in the region, as well as providing the opportunity for educational facilities.
