(Changed from object to support as respondent is actually supporting the categorisation of the site as unreasonable in the GNLP)
I am a Parish Councillor and it is clear Hellesdon does not have enough green spaces but plenty of dwellings. The infrastructure cannot sustain more dwellings plus the extra pollution the owners vehicles will generate need to be considered. The Green space will add to the governments requirement for 'The Green Grid' and for the benefit of the community. More dwellings will not benefit the community.

Proposal GNLP 1021 puts forward a good case for the development of this site for recreational use for those living on the eastern side of the Parish. Such an accessible space is desperately needed for residents who have limited alternative available options. This plan would provide facilities for all ages and all levels of ability. Our health and well-being, physically and mentally, within the natural order, is vital for our future benefit.
As Jarrold's celebrate 250 years in the City, their legacy would be diminished if they allowed long-term good for local residents to be out-weighed by short-term monetary gain.

Hellesdon will in the next eight years see a significant growth in house building, with 1000 new homes already commenced on the former golf course. There are further plans for additional new housing build our on the Hellesdon Hospital site.
The developer of the golf course site has only agreed 50% of what is required in terms of formal recreational land, leaving a shortfall allocation of at least 2 hectares. it is imperative that this site is allocated for green open space and recreational provision as the parish is well under its quota per head of population by 50%

Hellesdon has not got enough green space sites. The area is already surrounded by housing, borders an industrial estate and is also near the airport, all these, contribute to the air pollution of the area, with out more cars. It would be good to have an open space for people without having to cross busy roads, especially children.

Hellesdon does not have enough public access open space to satisfy the requirements of the residents of Hellesdon, let alone allowing more houses to built with all the extra residents that would cause. It needs to stay as green space, not housing as this proposal is suggesting to allow.

Having lived in Hellesdon most of my life. This area should be opened up for the residents of Hellesdon, by the Parish council seeking to purchase the land and opening it up for the residents of Hellesdon to enjoy a green open space with various activities, without having to cross the A140 road. Hellesdon demands better than more housing rather than open green space. please don't forget the impact on schools, dentists, doctors etc, which are at capacity now. Keep the area green space for the residents, who can play bowls, football, tennis, running, walk or just sit.

I am objecting to the proposed buildings because both wild birds and wild mammals would lose their homes.
The surrounding roads are not suitable for a large increase in traffic
This site is currently used for football games, dog walking and general recreational purposes by local residents.
We do not want Hellesdon transformed into a concrete jungle.

Comment supports proposal being reasonable
I am totally opposed to this being put forward as a reserve site for planning. This has to be in my view reclassified as open recreational space. Hellesdon is desperately short of open space only having approximately 12 acres when according to national guidelines we should have at least 56 acres. Also Hellesdon is already having more than its fair share of new housing with up to 1000 new homes being built on the old Norwich golf course and almost certainly at some time in the future a probable 200 new homes on the Hellesdon Hospital site. This proposal also does no favours to Hellesdon Parish Council (HPC)who are desperate to buy the Jarrolds site for the benefit of the residents of Hellesdon but have been rebuffed by Jarrolds who have made it clear they won't even consider selling the site for recreational purposes while they believe they can sell it as a development site. So while Jarrolds believe they have a sniff of a chance of doing this they will continue to flatly refuse to consider selling it at a reasonable price to HPC. By reclassifying this as open space removes this option completely from Jarrolds Additionally in HPC's Neighbourhood Plan the policy regarding the Jarrolds site is it becomes open space. The NPPF, Paragraph 14, states "In situations where the presumption (at Paragraph 11d) applies to applications involving the provision of housing, the adverse impact of allowing development that conflicts with the neighbourhood plan is likely to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits". I would strongly argue building on this land would significantly and demonstrably out weigh the benefits as it robs the residents of Hellesdon of much needed open space of which there is a significant shortfall.

Almost certainly most Hellesdon residents feel they have seen enough residential development - 'concreting over' as many term it.
So where 'green' space for recreation exists every effort should be made by planners to preserve it. This is particularly aposite(sic) to the former Jarrold site.
The existing adjacent residential area (Brabazon Rd/Prince Andrews Rd/Close/Heath Cl/Crescent) forms a pleasant 'oasis' bounded as it is by Norwich Airport, industrial sites & the A140, clearly a 'green' recreational space within this area would be a boon to residents especially perhaps for the elderly & children, sports England have an interest & I'm sure that organisation would welcome residents to some if not all their activities. The case for retaining the 'green' space appears overwhelmingly strong

A note on residential development, should this be approved clearly access should be via Fifers Lane, phased traffic lights (IE. rush hour) & road markings to prevent access being blocked should suffice. The completion of the NDR-A47 should reduce traffic pressure in Fifers Lane.
