GNLP0289

This conversion of a much needed care home, will be detrimental to the landscape and character of area, close as it is to Drayton Woods country wildlife site. Additionally placing pressure on the highway system and facilities in Hellesdon.

This site is unsuitable for residential development due to its setting and use could be considered for keeping it for the purpose it was built - a care home for our ageing population. Wooded areas should be preserved for the harmony and enhancement of the parish.

Detrimental to landscape and character of area and proximity to Drayton Woods country wildlife site, access and highway issues and will put pressure on facilities in adjoining Hellesdon

This area is wholly within a County Wildlife Site. At the moment the relatively low level of use and traffic generated is keeping impact on the woods to a minimum. Any further development would have a negative impact on an environment which is very important for wildlife in the area and an important leisure space for Drayton and Hellesdon residents.
Any further development would have a a negative impact on Hellesdon by creating extra demand for already overstretched services and increasing traffic congestion,as although technically in the parish of Drayton, Hellesdon is nearer.

This site is outside of the settlement limit and is adjacent to Drayton Wood which is a County Wildlife site The development is contrary to policy 8 of the Drayton Neighbourhood Plan.

Contrary to comments, this is not a home for the elderly but a residential home for adults with learning disabilities, some of whom have lived there for many years in a happy safe community. As far as I can tell, none of them or their relatives have been told about this proposal and the residents would mostly not be able to object, my son who lives there certainly can't. This application seems to have been made purely for financial gain with no consideration for the residents. There is a great shortage of such provision in Norwich and surrounding area, .

If the care home is intending to relocate or close (?) it seems sensible to utilise existing infrastructure as part of the plan for new homes. As these are apartments, potentially they could be more affordable to those trying to get on the property ladder?

Conversion of care home is ok but any further development should not take place as it is detrimental to the landscape and character of the area and its proximity to Drayton Woods Country Wildlife site. Will put pressure ob infrastructure and services in adjacent parish of Hellesdon

This site is outside of the settlement limit and is adjacent to Drayton Wood which is a County Wildlife site The development is contrary to policy 8 of the Drayton Neighbourhood Plan. Conversion of the existing care home only to residential dwellings might be acceptable, however a loss of these type of facilities would be very regrettable to those residents currently in situ.

Outside of settlement limit, remote from village centre and services. Adjacent to Drayton Wood county wildlife site.

SITE REF: GNLP0289, 0290, 0301, 0302, 0329, 0332, 0333, 0334, 0381, 0419, 0500, 1019, 1020, 1021, 1061.
These areas are not suitable for the proposed buildings because they would put pressure on Hellesdon medical practice and other facilities in Hellesdon.
They would cause traffic problems for the already busy roads of Hellesdon and would be dangerous for vehicles joining the main roads. The loss of habitat for wildlife should also be considered before building on our countryside.

GNLP1019 - this land is recreational and should never be built on.

GNLP1020 - This land is to be kept for a new burial ground.

GNLP1019/GNLP1021- There are major traffic problems in this area already.

GNLP0289/GNLP0290/GNLP0301 - Detrimental to landscape, rare plants and wildlife grow in this wood.

Hellesdon needs more green areas with the loss of the golf course, this will make a huge gap. Traffic and pollution is bad. Doctors, chemists ad others will be over subscribed, including the schools. Someone needs to stand up for Hellesdon VILLAGE.

GNLP0289
Object to the change of use from care home to apartments. The Care Home ii an valuable resource for those requiring residential and day care. Further, the closure of the Bellecare Home reduces employment opportunities in the area
The 39 -76 vehicles entering and leaving Drayton High Road will add to the congestion and hazards on this highway.

GNLP0290
This development is on part of Drayton Wood- a County Wild life Site and will reduce the area of woodland and block the entrance to the Public Rights of Way in the wood. The Rights of Way are regularly used for parties of health walkers , and daily by dog walkers and joggers.
The traffic from the new properties will add to traffic and hazards on Drayton High Road.
It will ill destroy the green belt between Drayton and Hellesdon

GNLP0329
This development will block the entrance from Hurn Road to the Public Right of Way FP11 to Reepham Road, the path off FP11 to FPs 12/13 round and from Canham's Hill. Further it will destroy a Green Link to Drayton Wood behind Howell Road (presently a Permissive path). The area cannot be developed for housing as it is designated clear area for planes leaving and approaching Norwich Airport. Further ,foul water from the properties will add to the overload of sewage at the Low Road pumping station. This is adjacent to the protected River Wensum Valley SSI area.

GNLP0301
This development will add to strain on local facilities and roads. and could lead to infill of area next to I to Manor Park.

GNLP 0298/ 0290/ 0301/ 0329/ 0302/ 0332/ 0333/ 0334/ 0419/ 0381
I agree with all Hellesdon Parish Council comments regarding the loss of green space, the environmental impact, pressure on already stretched Hellesdon infrastructure, amenities and the already and existing traffic problems in spite of the 'NDR'. I strongly object to any of the above!!
GNLP 1020 A cemetery application was turned down because of bad access and egress to the site, also because of Norwich Airport. Take off flight lines, remember the aircraft crash years ago. The planning applications to build houses on any of the land owned by R.G Carter is complete madness and detrimental to public safety.

.

I am objecting to the proposed building because both wild birds and wild mammals would lose their homes. There are skylarks and other rare birds there also hedgehogs which are under threat of extinction.

There is currently too much traffic on surrounding roads, this would increase considerably.

The local doctors surgery would not be able to cope with any more patients. We already have to wait 2-3 weeks for an appointment.

Local school could not accept hundred of extra children.

We do not feel that the plans for these areas should go ahead. With the houses been built at the old golf course Hellesdon has taken its share of housing already. Traffic in Hellesdon is already a problem and can not handle more houses and cars.

Our children go to xxxxxxx Schools and they are already over subscribed. The junior school had to put on an extra class for year 3 this year. I worry as well how the High school will cope. Its already difficult to get an appointment at the doctors surgery so there is no way they can take on the additional people these houses will bring.

We need to protect our green areas as they are important to help reduce pollution. They also give local residents areas to walk play and socialise.
Hellesdon will be a sad place if these are removed and I worry about our children's futures.
