1) Hellesdon is gradually losing its open communal spaces; do not lose more.
2) The proposal to demolish a house to create access to the site defeats the object of having the barrier in Heath Crescent. A rat run could be created again. Access using Lansdowne Road would be better.
3) The house to be demolished is at the start of a narrow section of Prince Andrew's Road which contains two bends. To invite additional traffic into this area without further consideration of the road configuration invites accidents.
4) Can 50 houses be serviced on a small site? Car parking!
I have the following comments to make
1) Hellesdon is gradually losing its open communal spaces. Until very recently this site had been used for recreational purposes and I believe any future development should proceed only with that in mind.
2) Some years ago a barrier was erected across Heath Crescent as it had become a rat run for unsuitable traffic between Cromer Road and Fifers Lane. The proposal to demolish 3 Prince Andrew's Road, a perfectly good property, to create access to the site would defeat the object of having the barrier. It could open up the possibility of a rat run being created again. Should the proposal be given further consideration, surely safer access could be devised using Lansdowne Road.
3) The house to be demolished is at the start of a narrow section of Prince Andrew's Road which contains two bends. Drivers need to be alert when approaching this area. To invite additional traffic into this area without further consideration of the road configuration would invite an accident.
4) Can as many as 50 houses be properly serviced on such a small site, especially car parking?
