Friends of Thorpe Woodlands - petition against proposal to build 300 houses over this Wildlife Site

I'm signing this petition because I believe we have a responsibility to our natural environment, it's important and crucial for our well being, and because Thorpe Woodlands is a particularly valuable natural area on the edge of Norwich. The local area already has sufficient planned area for housing. There is also an integrated plan for maintaining a Green Infrastructure for the benefit of the environment and the people of Norwich. For a development company to then suggest, it's a wonderful idea to build in the middle of a this woodland County Wildlife Site is ludicrus. That nature, it's rare plant species, the woodland habitat will be improved by building a housing estate on it and disturbing and degrading the rest with heavy machinery, construction and access roads, is insane. The developers ironically named 'Socialy Conscious Capital' are ignoring the natural value of this site to Norwich, it's people, local democracy, local planning for a sutainable future. With no logical motive other than profit, this company seems to be suggesting that 'Norfolk Wildife Trust' sites would be better as housing estates.
