Proposed Development of Ecological Corridor, Kings Lynn, Norfolk

The woodland site that is being developed is:

Home to a variety of species including Bats, Heron, Woodpecker, Owls,
Muntjac (deer), Newts, Kingfishers and many more
Described by the Norfolk Wild Trust as an area of a habitat of principal
importance in the NERC Act
A priority habitat under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan.
Forms an ecological corridor
In Britain all bat species and their roosts are legally protected - the developers shouldn't be interfering with their habitat
Built on marine alluvium soil
Concerns that the old drainage systems will not cope
Will be approximately 9 metres from people's properties
The town already has multiple land and units of the same specification
available for rent or sale
Will destroy the natural noise and space buffer between a residential
area and an industrial estate
A former residents ashes have been scattered there, they are most
likely to be lost under the development
Community includes many elderly people, people with health conditions
& some housebound that rely on its visual & physical qualities
Will be lost for the next generation/eternally
Dramatically effect all residents house values & home insurance policies
Parking/congestion already at a premium
Damage to properties, many of which are more than 100 years old
