My main reasons for my OBJECTION are as follows.....
1, Additional strain on already over subscribed schools and healthcare facilities.
2, Loss of recreational space for children and local dog walkers.
3, Additional traffic.
4, To see the allotments go, which is currently used by locals and a real community hub.
5, To see a beautiful picturesque space turned into yet more houses!
6, Heavy plant machinery next to a very local school, which would cause serious disruption.
7, A sense of community gone.
It would be very sad to replace this lovely green space with more houses.
I, as well as lots of other use this space regularly to walk our dogs, and in the summer for our children to play/ride bikes etc.
There are not many green spaces available, and its so nice to have somewhere on our doorstep which can allow this.
Hellesdon is currently a small parish, but if it continues to expand (ie all the houses currently going in on the old golf course) like planned it will loose all sense of community.
The schools will suffer as they will not be able to meet the new demands, which inevitably means our children will suffer.
The doctors and dentists will not be able to cope with the excess demands as they're already over subscribed and it's already a struggle to make appointments.
The roads will also become extremely busy. This is already problem which will certainly get worse and make everyone's commute already living here harder and longer.
It will also be very sad to see the allotments go. This for some is their pride and joy, and a space where a community meets. For some people this can be the only chance to get out and meet others, taking this away would be devastating for some!
Please take this, and all other peoples views into consideration when deciding what to do. I know it would be a real blow to a lot of locals and a really shame to see such a lovely picturesque area turned into yet more houses!!
