While we have been very happy to see The Roundhouse development we think this proposed development, which removes much enjoyed open fields and woods, will spoil all local residents enjoyment of the area and adversely affect local wildlife including a wide variety of owls, woodpeckers and other birds

The loss of green space and its impact on the wellbeing of humans/wildlife. The large number of development sites outside of the valley being proposed should more than meet the expected growth needs for housing and employment, without risking damage to what local plans identify as a Strategic Green Infrastructure Corridor. The present green corridor is much used and, in some places, overused, as evidenced by the worn condition of some of its paths. Rather than reduce its size, every effort should be made to increase its extent to meet the needs of a growing population from adjacent housing developments.

Opening Coloney Lane to through traffic will create a dangerous ratrun. This is a narrow contry lane with limited predestrian paths and is not designed for the voloume of traffic.
The proposed massive redevelopment for the UEA on the woodland in Coloney Lane will destroy a natural habitat, environment and wildlife enjoyed by many many people. What right has the UEA to destroy a this area for financial gain when they already have ample redevelopment sites on campas????

There is to date either newly built or permission granted for over 1,500 houses in the vicinity of this proposal.
This wooded area is heavily used by dog walkers and families enjoying the tranquility of this oasis in an otherwise highly populated area. The erosion of footpaths is clear evidence of use.
As the surrounding area becomes more populated there will be an increasing need for such spaces which provide an ideal habitat for wildlife and a welcome peaceful area for families to enjoy .
Please reject this proposal and retain this area of our natural environment for future generations.

There are pressures already on the local roads and facilities due the new housing estates. I have concerns over how they will cope with further properties. There is also the issue for the wildlife and what further developments mean for them.

Green areas of public access within easy reach of the city are a rarity. This area is very popular with walkers, dog walkers, UEA students, bird watchers and others and is a hugely valued public amenity. I cannot believe that anyone could contemplate destroying these woodlands. I very strongly object to this proposal.

GNLP0244: The woodland to the east of Colney Lane should remain undisturbed and accessible to the public as a recreational amenity. It is used frequently by walkers, with or without dogs, and by those who chose to walk/commute from Cringleford/Eaton to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital and Norwich Research Park. When originally planted this woodland was intended by UEA and NCC to raise the skyline by 30 feet and to improve the landscape quality in this part of the Yare Valley.

I object there is already a lot of the green space in that area being built on don't destroy what little woodland there is please. The uea is supposed to be environmentally conscious here they are destroying more woodland and animal habitats. I along with many other dog walkers use this space 7 days a week and in the busy summer months allows you to walk your dog away from picnics around the lake.
I use this space 7 days a week along with many other dog walkers. There is very little safe accessible access to a dog walk that dogs and children can enjoy especially with access to the river. This side of the uea allows dog walkers in the summer to avoid the congestion and picnic areas of the uea lake if they wish to. There is not even close to the amount of car parking space needed if everyone was forced to use earlham park and it would amount to more dog on dog aggression as there would not be the space for everyone to enjoy. I think it's disgusting that a supposedly environmentally conscious university would allow destruction of so much woodland and green space for property development. The land near the rugby pitches has already been sold and they plan to destroy much of the green space there will be nothing left for my niece and nephew to enjoy they are 3 and 1 respectively. Please don't allow this to happen I love going here.

To whom it may concern,
It has been brought to my attention that there are proposed plans to redevelop the woodland area near the UEA. I must admit this was very upsetting to learn, the wooded area is an absolutely stunning place come rain or shine, not only do I bring my clients here who struggle with mental health and learning disabilities, but I use it as a place of peace and solitude for myself.
To lose such an area would be a true tragedy and I sincerely hope that you will reconsider.

I strongly object to the proposed development of the public amenity of Cringleford Woods. The loss of such a wildlife habitat is unthinkable. This space is regularly enjoyed by many individuals and families for recreational purposes which should be encouraged, and not destroyed. It is essential that green spaces such as this are retained and the wildlife allowed to flourish, which in turn will have a positive effect on both the physical and mental health of the general public.

I strongly object to the destruction of the woodland on UEA land adjacent to Colney Lane for housing.
I would like to object to the proposal to build housing on GNLP0244 in regulation 18 consultation. This land is part of UEA campus and is an area of amenity for the Village of Cringleford and far beyond. It constitutes one of the few remaining woodlands and a wildlife asset to an area with already heavy density housing on the Roundhouse Estate and near future 650 homes behind Newfound Farm. It is one of the few areas left for families that has not been built on and a 'green lung' in an area of increasing heavy traffic with subsequent air pollution. More housing would destroy the character of Cringleford even further. Local access to the university,which has always prided itself on being open to the community, and its facilities would be hampered. Colney Lane is an important route to the largest hospital in Norfolk and is already suffering from severe congestion at many times of the day.
To move forward with this proposal,marked GNLP0244 on the map, is to run roughshod over the wishes and needs of the people who live in Cringleford as expressed many times by the residents individually and through their parish council.

This proposal concerns a relatively small site and would involve the destruction of a precious wildlife haven.The larger site next door is much more suitable in all aspects (conditions of the site,number of new homes,impact on environment,not currently used by residents).Developing both would be too much for the area to take.Traffic is already a concern with the proposed development.This space is used by residents to enjoy nature and its benefits (for physical and mental health,ensuring that our children grow up in a healthy environment and environmentally conscious).Sustainable living requires this space to be retained in its natural form.

Building here will result in substantial loss of valuable woodland in the Yare Valley. This is a space that is extensively used by many people for a variety of reasons. It is an area of beauty and a habitat for a variety of wildlife and building on the land will have detrimental effects on the environment.
Development will also add to congestion in an area already struggling at peak times.

Cringleford wood is an inappropriate site for any development - it is a heavily-used recreational green space and its elevated position above the river valley means building here would impact negatively on a wide area. I would also have concerns about the effect on traffic volume on Colney Lane - already at a standstill most mornings.

We consider that the allocation of these sites for development would be inappropriate. The existing woodland should be protected, and green space protected by a Greenbelt policy. This also forms part of the strategic gap between Norwich and Cringleford that we feel is necessary for them to be seen as separate settlements.

I have concerns about this planned development:
a) The loss of a wild area beneficial for local people and wildlife.
b)Access roads onto Colney Lane with land opposite this proposal already committed to two access roads which would lead to the possibility of enhanced traffic and therefore pollution.
I fear this proposal would lead to a loss of wildlife, woodland areas and overall a decreased quality of life for residents of the surrounding areas as well as students and staff. I long to see Cringleford, Colney and the surrounding areas flourish and this would seem a step away from that.
I have grave concerns about this planned development around:
a) The loss of a wonderful bit of wild area hugely beneficial for local people and all types of wildlife. Although I am generally supportive of the need for the UEA to be able to continue to meet the demands of a modern university this site seems to be the wrong area to build on. According to a recent study South Norfolk has only 2% Green Urban land and 3% Natural land - it would seem to be counterproductive to erode it even further.

The area of GNLP 0244 forms a part of the River Yare Valley and if it was built on then the natural look of the central part of the valley between the Watton Road and the A47 would effectively be destroyed, which would compromise the integrity of the whole valley. The woodland is an important local asset and is used by many people especially at weekends for recreation.
