Representation ID: 19520

Received: 13/12/2018

Respondent: Mr philip atkinson

Representation Summary:

Everyone I spoke to regarding the proposed housing development at Jarrolds sports field in Hellesdon objected to it.

Lots of people in the area are elderly, and without the knowledge to register there objections on a computer.

I had a little time to go round some of the houses in the area and gained signatures of protest from every residence I visited.

The attached signatures on the petition are just a few of the people who objected to the housing development, there are many more! (Petition not attached for data protection reasons)

I just didn't have enough time to visit all the houses in the area when the residents where at home.

Concerns raised are from the lack of green space in the area for children, dog walkers, joggers etc, to increased traffic congestion on small roads, and demolishing a perfectly

good house for an access road. The new estate would also be out of character with the existing houses in the area, there would be disruption caused by building works, and the

view from many existing residents back gardens would be ruined with their privacy taken away.

I hope you will be fair and make everyone in the area aware of the proposed development, and give them all the chance and time to vote on this matter, not just the computer
