Please accept this email as an individual objection to the Norwich Western Link Road planning consultation, reference FUL/2024/0022 .

I am extremely concerned about the effects the planned Norwich Western Link would have on wildlife and habitats on the proposed road route and the surrounding area if this project is allowed to go ahead. I agree with local experts that these road plans pose a serious risk to rare and legally protected wildlife and that the predicted benefits are far outweighed by the national importance of the area for wildlife.

Once you take away the habitats there is no going back. It's not just the loss of habitat though, many species in the area would still be using the area for years and end uo kilked on tge roads further damaging oopulations.
Already damaged so much of our natural environment we should be looking to improve the roads we have, not damaging our beautiful environment

We are in a biodiversity and climate crisis and consenting this proposal would be a serious blow to national nature and climate recovery. Nature really needs our help and must be put at the heart of important decision-making to secure a prosperous future for us all.

Mtmy concerns are the threat to the bat population in the area, the destruction of an invaluable wildlife area and the impact on the local environment. To build a road right through the heart of this important wildlife area is destructive and will permanently alter the area.

This is outrageous! Are you aware that this area is the most important site in the whole country for the Barbastelle Bat? Building this road would also harm other species and habitats including rare birds such as yellowhammer and linnet, numerous beetles and mayflies species, and important habitats like ancient woodlands, rare chalk rivers, grasslands, and wetlands.

These habitats are all well connected and are the heart of this major wildlife corridor. Please stop this now.

Norfolk County Council must get themselves into the 21st century and realise that we CANNOT keep destroying the natural world. So many protected sites would be affected by the road that it really beggars belief that this application is even being considered, given that it is accepted that nature is in crisis. Mitigation does not work. The habitats have taken centuries to evolve and they cannot be replaced in a year. To destroy protected habitats would set a precedent for further destruction of such sites. NCC must NOT be allowed to set this precedent. If this road goes ahead we might as well say 'forget nature, we'll concrete over the whole country.'

This appears to be a project where the vanity of County Councillors is forcing a project with poor economic justification, significant risks to the financial stability of the Council, and serious issues related to biodiversity. The Council needs to go back to the drawing board and consider alternatives which are more economically and environmentally literate before wasting so much money on a project which is likely to be rejected through opposition from official bodies

Norfolk is still one of the least environmentally spoilt counties in England.

I am very concerned that irreplaceable habitats for rare and protected species will be destroyed. Norfolk has always been hailed as one of the few counties that really value their rural landscape and wildlife, and yet this will fly in the gave of that. Rare bats will be killed, their habitat destroyed. Birds that are already in decline will lose more habitat, contributing to further decline. The road will encourage people off of public transport and into their cars. This will increase carbon footprint and fly in the gave of government commitments.

I am dumbfounded to think that this has been submitted to planning. If this plan were to go ahead it will devastate the landscape, the richness and diversity of wildlife and fauna. Higher car emissions and road noise will have a a massive impact on surrounding nature. There will be more animal collisions due to their need or behaviour patterns to get to their source of food or breeding areas. As it is I see enough dead animals on the roads we have already. All the work involved to protect these animals and environments which has taken years to achieve will be undone and species will decline or vanish. Protected species and their environment should be protected and remain protected as there are reasons for this and considerations for any planning should take this into account and avoid such areas. I agree this is a no go and will destroy an area of outstanding beauty and be disastrous to all nature.
