Greater Norwich Local Plan Gypsy and Traveller Sites Focused Consultation
Policy GNLP5004
Representation ID: 24620
Received: 17/02/2023
Respondent: Marsham Parish Council
The Council wishes to object to the above proposal on the grounds of biodiversity concerns, Cawston and Marsham Heaths SSSI is located approximately 1 kilometre from the site. There are four further SSSIs within a 5 kilometre radius (Booton Common, Buxton Heath, Alderford Common and Swannington Upgate Common) and the site is in a ‘green’ impact risk zone for Great Crested Newts. The Council feels that Natural England should be consulted on this.
In addition, the Council raised concerns around the lack of pollution mitigation measures that have been shared and would required more details to be provided to ensure that the impact of a site on good quality useable Agricultural land would not negatively impact the surrounding area.
Given that there is also a proposed increase in site space at the site in Stratton Strawless, which is within 3 miles to the proposed site at Cawston, the Council feels that it would be unnecessary to create a new one so close to an already established and well run site which is much more suitable.
