Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 21869

Received: 15/03/2020

Respondent: Ms June Gentle

Representation Summary:

This proposal is a direct invasion of the green corridor of the Yare Valley which has been long valued as a green infrastructure corridor, supporting informal leisure and maintaining biodiversity. This inclusion by UEA is a test of the integrity of the Council to stand by its words on green infrastructure.
The Yare Valley is a precious resource which is being squeezed from all sides, due to inappropriate development. We should be looking to increase green space for the future well being of people and the planet.
The new housing in the area of Colney and Cringleford will put great pressure on the valley without the creeping invasion of UEA along the Bluebell lane.

I strongly object to this proposal by UEA to develop this site.

This proposal is a direct invasion of the green corridor of the Yare Valley which has been long valued as a green infrastructure corridor, supporting informal leisure and maintaining biodiversity. This inclusion by UEA is a test of the integrity of the Council to stand by its words on green infrastructure.
The Yare Valley is a precious resource which is being squeezed from all sides, due to inappropriate development. We should be looking to increase green space for the future well being of people and the planet.
The new housing in the area of Colney and Cringleford will put great pressure on the valley without the creeping invasion of UEA along the Bluebell lane.

Please have the courage and integrity to tell the UEA to plant trees instead!
