Comment

Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 21778

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: RSPB (East of England Regional Office)

Representation Summary:

Due to scale and lack of contour lines it is hard to determine but the map on page 95 seems to show the proposed development areas 1+2 sit within the floodplain. This would seem to contradict advice regarding development in the floodplain.
Given the comment within the draft document describing biodiversity buffers, are there opportunities with the 4 proposed developments in East Norwich to bring nature close to or within these development areas?
