Respondent: Mrs Karen Crowe

Representation Summary:

Comment is considered an objection to site being reasonable.
Having viewed the proposed plans for the Heath Crescent development I am totally against the Jarrolds proposition of between 35-50 houses: My main concern is the extra 100 cars trying to get to their place of work daily, the roads cannot deal with this & the pollution to the air will be horrendous. We already have enough traffic around this area due to the industrial sites. As well as this there are no green areas this side of the Cromer Road & the Parish councils proposed use of the site would be fantastic for families & dog walkers. We've lived here 33 years & I used to enjoy hearing the boys playing football on this site, much nicer to hear people having a good time than hearing 100 more cars going about their business.
The better option for anyone living near to this site is the green space but the greed of the owners of the land & the money making opportunity of the developers will probably outweigh the thoughtfulness to provide existing residents with a much nicer place to live.
One final thought is that by developing this site to houses would be a detriment to local wildlife & would also add to the flood risk as the rain will have nowhere to go as we are now realising as the country becomes a concrete jungle.
