| 1. | The proposed flood bund would result in a highly prominent development on
the open marshes and the necessary tipping would pose a threat to the
natural habitat of this ecologically valuable site and as a consequence is
considered contrary to both national and local planning policies in respect
the Broads environment. The area is, and will be, protected by exisiting
and proposed flood defences and, therefore, this proposal is considered to
be unnecessary and, were it to be allowed, would create a precedent for
similar ad hoc private flood defence measures which might be as equally
damaging to the landscape and ecology of the Broads area. |
