Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 21826

Received: 13/03/2020

Respondent: Mrs Ursula Hope

Representation Summary:

For most of that time the land in question has been used by Jarrold’s for sports activities. Sadly we, the residents of the area, had no access - something that would have been appreciated with young children.
Now we are facing something worse. We lose green space and gain far more traffic on what are very narrow and bendy roads. Turning into Cromer Road from Heath Crescent and particularly from Brabazon Road (often up to 8 cars parked close to the junction) can be a challenge as it is, without the extra traffic from a new development

For nearly 37 years I have lived in XXXX. For most of that time the land in question has been used by Jarrold’s for sports activities. Sadly we, the residents of the area, had no access - something that would have been appreciated with young children.
Now we are facing something worse. We lose green space and gain far more traffic on what are very narrow and bendy roads. Turning into Cromer Road from Heath Crescent and particularly from Brabazon Road (often up to 8 cars parked close to the junction) can be a challenge as it is, without the extra traffic from a new development. In fact it is an accident waiting to happen.
Furthermore, one or possibly two perfectly good properties would have to be demolished in Prince Andrew’s Road to gain vehicular access to the site.
Where is the green space we all should be able to enjoy? This side of Cromer Road has nothing so please let us have this green space to enjoy.
If this development goes ahead I think Hellesdon should be renamed “Concrete suburb” for that is what it is fast becoming, taking into account the development on the golf course, Hellesdon Hospital and Eversley Road.
