I wholly object to the plans to build new homes on the boundary of Hellesdon and Horsford. Hellesdon is a small parish with few conveniences, all of which are currently at saturation point. It is unethical to think that building new homes in this locality will enable sustainable growth. To be honest, this will overcrowd our schools, GP surgery, dentist and most of all out roads. There is already significant traffic problems within Hellesdon, down the Reepham road and along Middletons Road past the High school. This is an unrealistic plan which will cause more misery to commuters and residents alike. Hellesdon has recently earmarked Cottinghams Park as its final green space area which is regularly used by children, dog walkers and local residents. This is a peaceful place and accommodates the growth of local wildlife for all to enjoy. Allotment holders could potentially be left without their pride and joy and for some this is a lifeline, where regular interaction with locals keep them socialised and in touch with local people. This is a community area which is held in high regard by many residents and fellow local Hellesdon residents. My children are regular users of Cottinghams Park and they feel safe here.

Hellesdon simply cannot accommodate any further growth and support should be gained for new housing further along Reepham Road where no neighbouring homes or environments will be affected.
