Representation Summary:

The site and its boundaries provide valuable habitats to a number of species. Any development would decrease this biodiversity (conflicts with NPPF 179). The site is situated on the side of a valley with any water runoff due to development draining into Hellington Low Common and beck, an area of even greater biodiversity and a Norfolk Wildlife Trust county wildlife site. I notice the NWT support the proposal (re hedge, boundary and tree protection proposals) but question whether they have considered the site position relative to one of their county wildlife sites.

Change suggested by respondent:

further assessment of the impact of this site needs to be carried out.
