GNLP0332

Hellesdon has already agreed to 1000+ new homes, building more will mean a loss of much needed green space used by lots of locals. Pressure on the roads and services would increase, yet Horsford not Hellesdon, would benefit financially! Hellesdon has little green space as it is, don't take more away.

Outside of settlement limit of both Horsford and Hellesdon. Within airport public safety zone. Would invalidate the traffic modelling (AADT point 77) used to receive approval of the Develpoment Consent Order for the NDR.

Hellesdon is short on green space for people and wildlife to enjoy. There are new homes agreed already in Hellesdon which will put pressure on the roads and doctors etc. Adding even more homes is going to make things worse. Losing this green space would have a negative effect on the community as there's little recreational land as it is.

this includes the safety zone for Norwich Airport. The site is adjacent to Hellesdon, which is lacking in green space, so its loss would be keenly felt.
As it is far removed from Horsford itself, the effects of extra housing, traffic etc would net affect Horsford, but would be very detrimemntal to an already overstretched Hellesdon.

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.

I strongly object to any housing development being built on the above sites in Hellesdon.
The effect this will impact on the infrastructure in Hellesdon ie. Doctors, Schools, more traffic on the roads. Hellesdon has very little recreation land of which one of the above sites is used for now. Hellesdon has already recently lost the golf course on the Drayton Road where more houses are being built. Yet again putting more strain on the services in Hellesdon. Hellesdon has taken its share of redevelopment. If this development goes ahead traffic will be so much more congested on the Reepham Road and Holt Road for access in and out. From the safety aspect these sites are on the flight path to Norwich airport and would surely be unsafe to have a housing development built here. I have lived on Sadler Road for 26 years and purchased our property with the understanding it had a 99 year lease on the land where the allotments are and would not be built on.

This land is the flight path and crash land site for aircraft. I am aware that a plane/ helicopter can crash land anywhere not just a designated field. In 1974 a plane took off from Norwich airport birds got in the propellers and it crash landed on 1019/0332. the planes in the past and to this day have flown low when coming into land, I would not like to live in that space.
Would building on this land not increase the traffic congestion not just on the main road but also the residential areas. NDR has taken some of this away but at certain times of the day there is an increase to traffic and trying to get out onto the main road can be tiresome. Hellesdon and Drayton surgeries also become under more pressure if people from the new developments use Hellesdon facilities. this will take more green space away from the environment affecting wildlife and peoples wellbeing.

Both sites are unsuitable for houses as they would impact on Hellesdon amenities, like doctors and school. The roads around these sites would not be able to cope with the traffic and more cars would use Drayton Wood Road as a short cut causing safety issues. The houses should be built elsewhere. I believe this area is also in the flight path which would also be unsuitable. I moved to Hellesdon to a quieter area and this would impact on my day to day life. The houses need to be built further out.

Part of this proposed site includes the extension site of the allotments which are accessed off Bush Rd, Hellesdon. Hellesdon Parish Council moved their allotments to this site from the original allotment site on Holt Road which was sold for retail development in 1998. It took the Parish Council 4 years to find and build an alternative site for allotments and during this time Hellesdon was without allotments. This is because there is no spare land in Hellesdon and if this site was developed it is hard to see where additional allotment space could be accommodated within the Parish. Allotment holders are dismayed to think that once again they face uncertainly over whether their plots will exist in the future. The Parish Council signed a long lease with the land owner for 99 years in 2002, and this site should be reserved for recreational use only including allotments.

The extension site was acquired by the Parish Council as they had a 50 strong waiting list of potential allotment holders and with all approved schemes in Hellesdon adding 1300 or so additional households, demand for allotments is likely to exceed the 133 plots on the site.

The site is remote from Horsford and so distant to all their facilities. This development would impact on Hellesdon despite all CIL money going to Horsford Parish.

We would urge the planning authorities to consider not pushing this site on to the next stage of the GNLP and provide certainly for all allotment holders in Hellesdon.

I am responding in my capacity of Vice Chairman of Hellesdon Allotment Holders Association on behalf of all Hellesdon Allotment Holders.

Site Reference 0332 Horsford - Reepham Road/Cromer Road
Totally unsuitable. This site is still in a safety zone for Norwich Airport. I bring your attention to a sizeable plane which crashed in line with the flight path, had there been properties it would have been a very serious incident.
Since then the helicopters have been moved here, of course many more aircraft movements and not sticking to a flight path, an accident is waiting to happen!
So having a choice! Why would you put property in line with danger? I would be interested to see if any developer or planner would buy a property and live there.
Infrastructure in 60 years of living here I can only see two improvements to Hellesdon roads.
1/ the roundabout at Middletons Lane/Reepham Road.
2/ Cromer Road, Airport approach - widening of road.
The Royal Norwich Golf Course development is next! With probably 2,000 cars and lorries and school that's an awful lot of vehicle movements - with probably minimal amount of road improvement.
Maintenance of our highways is pathetic already!
Why not build these extra properties either side of the NDR. Traffic can then disperse and filter in various directions, instead of sending everything through Hellesdon again! This development should also be sited nearer to Horsford village, so residents can enjoy being part of the community, instead being isolated! NOT SUITABLE!
Site Reference GNLP 1019 Hellesdon, north of Arden Grove, Recreational.
Totally unsuitable. This is important recreational land which is heavily used and very valuable to the residents of Hellesdon. We were led to believe this land was a requirement based on the number of people living in Hellesdon. Where are you going to find a replacement in Hellesdon? We don't believe there is one!
This site is also part of the safety zone for Norwich Airport, you may not believe so! We can remember when a sizeable plane crashed on this site, and the helicopter movements increasing and not sticking to a so call flight path an accident is waiting to happen!
Who in their right minds would sanction building houses there, it is as irresponsible as building on floodplains which some of our clever planners sanction 9(out do not live in). we are not complaining about Norwich Airport as it was already operating when moving to this property 32 years ago. We support it, if developed responsibly. Why would you build in line with a runway when there is a choice not to.
There has been little improvement in Hellesdon in the 60 years I have lived here. 1/ a roundabout instead of cross roads at junction on Middletons Lane. 2/ Widening of the Cromer Road at the Airport approach.
Since then Thorpe Marriott development has been added. The next one to be added is the Royal Norwich Golf Course, 1,000 homes? 2,000 cars and lorry movements and a school with many vehicle movements. My guess is the road improvements will be a small as the contractors can get away with. The planners are gradually ruining Hellesdon in the same way Norwich are trying to squeeze cycle tracks in where there isn't space for them. I am surprised the NDR has no provision for cyclists at all, a few more fatalities to come on there I suspect.
Conclusion, Hellesdon cannot continue to absorb traffic. Not suitable.

GNLP 0419 - 750 houses on this site would put much pressure on the roads and local amenities. The roads now are already congested at peak times of the day. It would also spoil a lovely area which quite a lot of wildlife and birds.
GNLP 0332 - another area which is good for wildlife and birds, and would also put pressure on the amenities of Hellesdon.
GNLP 0302 - another 150-200 dwellings would increase pressure on local roads and amenities.
GNLP 1019 - beautiful recreation grounds and allotments should be kept as they are. Housing here would spoil a lovely area. Cars joining Reepham Road would be accidents waiting to happen.
GNLP 1021 - Jarrold's sportsground should be kept as a recreational area, and more cars on Fifers Lane would add to more congestion.
GNLP 0290 - beautiful area of woodland, building would be detrimental to all the wildlife and birds and the walking in this place. Building here would be criminal.
GNLP 0301 - building of 276 dwellings here would more than double the amount of cars on already congested roads and people using local amenities.
In all these proposals there is no mention of providing the roads or building new doctors surgeries or schools to take all the greater population, not that we want any of these.

GNLP 0419 - the loss of an open field site with boundaries of woods and trees would be such a loss to Reepham Road, Hellesdon, and the building of 750 houses would be awful. We walk around here and you can hear skylarks and other birds, wildlife would suffer greatly.
750 houses would generate double that amount of cars down the road which is already busy especially work and school run times this also would put more pressure on doctors (of which I see no mention of building another practice to ease patient pressure). To sum it up not a good idea to build these houses especially as we already live here and would see the dreadful results of this.
GNLP 0332 - much the same as the above site. Another open field site with much wildlife and birds, as well as putting pressure on the amenities of Hellesdon.
GNLP 0302 - another 150 -200 properties would put much pressure on roads and amenities which are already busy.
GNLP - 1019 beautiful recreational grounds and allotments should be allowed to stay as they are and would be totally spoilt with housing again putting pressure roads and amenities.
GNLP - 1021 Jarrold's sports ground, recreational area would be totally spoilt, more cars on an already congested Fifers Lane would be terrible.
GNLP0290 - Beautiful area of woodland, detrimental to all the wildlife and walking, criminal to develop here.
GNLP 0301 - large development of 276 dwellings double the amount of cars using already congested roads and people using local amenities.
In all of these proposals I see no mention of improving or building new amenities, doctors, schools etc. or improving the already poor road systems.

Strongly object!
Agree with all Hellesdon Parish Council objection comments regarding loss of green space/ environmental impact, pressure on already stretched Hellesdon amenities and horrendous traffic problems

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.

GNLP0289 - Conversion of care home. Adjoins County Wildlife Site and will encroach on Gertrude Jeckyll garden (see attached)
GNLP290 - proposed development to side of driveway to Benell Care Home. Is oil pipe which served Norwich International Airport still active? (running alongside existing driveway)
GNLP0301 - within safety zone of Norwich International Airport.
GNLP0329 - loss of agricultural land. Access poor and within safety zone of Airport.
GNLP0334; GNLP0332; GNLP0333; GNLP0419: This is currently agricultural land and needs to continue likewise. Within safety zone and high noise levels from aircraft using Norwich International Airport
.

Further submissions made in respect of land north of Hellesdon, on behalf of landowners, involving (a) a northward extension to previously promoted site GNLP0332 incorporating part of GNLP0333, both east of Reepham Road (b) a northward extension to previously promoted site GNLP0334, west of Reepham Road. Both sites fall within Horsford parish. Sites are promoted together for residential development of between 844 and 1000 homes, green infrastructure/open space and commercial development on land adjoining and including Manor Farm, Holly Lane. The attached documentation comprises a position statement incorporating an indicative masterplan, submission forms for the two reconfigured sites and a general response form in respect of the Growth Options document.
