Respondent: Mrs Monica Brown

Representation Summary:

Comment is against site being preferred.
The surrounding roads are already congested which is causing more pollution in the area, which already has issues due to the airport fumes. The need for an unpolluted site is greater, it will also soak up water during storms.
Residents and emergency vehicles would have problems getting onto Prince Andrews Road, Heath Crescent and Cromer Road.
If this is built there will be no areas of recreation for children or older residents on the east side of Hellesdon. It will also cause further issues getting appointments with doctors.
To finish I am totally against the proposal of building houses on this land.

I have been living here for 52 years and have seen in Hellesdon lose most of their green land built upon.
This site for housing is not needed on this small plot of land. It is surrounded by Fifers Lane and Cromer Rd both congested with traffic, including polution (sic) from cars and the airport fumes. The need for unpolluted air is greater in this part of East Hellesdon as not having enough green areas, also to soak up the water during storms.
The cars coming out onto Prince Andrews Rd and then Heath Crescent and onto Cromer Rd will cause hold ups for residents on these roads also Emergency vehicles.
On the East side of the busy Cromer Rd there will be no areas for children or older residents for recreation.
Cancelling 50 houses is nothing compared to the building of thousands of houses under local planning. Also trying to get appointments with the doctors is getting worse with more houses being built.
To finnish (sic) I am totally against this proposal of building houses on this land adjacent to Prince Andrews Rd and Heath Crescent.
