I am concerned that is area is not being given special status as it has impact on the whole corridor.
With more residential areas being developed there is more need for green spaces to be given priority for our health.
The Yare Valley Parkway is an important part of the Green infrastructure Strategy for Greater Norwich between Bawburgh and Whitlingham.
Ecologically the area is important and must be preserved for flora and fauna, to retain marshland and help prevent flooding and stop run off of water into our chalk stream river..The marshes also help reduce impact of climate change by storage of greenhouse gases so must be preserved.
Apart from these natural phenomena we have some iconic buildings and structures some Grade11 listed, within this area and their natural settings should also be kept as they are naturally e.g UEA,Sainbury Centre.

For these reasons I would suggest that to make this special status in the planning approach.
