GNLP0334

This site which adjoins Hellesdon and is adjacent to the country wildlife site of Drayton Woods, will be remote from Horsford, and therefore add an additional burden to the resources and services of Hellesdon which are already overstretched. Additionally the inevitable extra traffic will add to the already severe traffic congestion we experience in Hellesdon.

Adjacent to Drayon woods which is a country wildlife site (which need saving), is also remote from village of Horsford so would therefore put pressure on facilities and amenities and add to already congested roads on Hellesdon.

I'm worried by the amount of traffic coming into Hellesdon to use our already stretched amenities,
Delivery lorries are already parking on cycle lanes and footpaths now and with the community centre/library parking spaces limited it will just add to an already severe traffic congested area

Hellesdon and Drayton are extremely short of recreation and open green spaces, this area represents the last remaining countryside in Hellesdon. An existing permissive path allows access to countryside and woodland and is very popular with walkers. Hellesdon is already committed to 1000 homes on the site of the golf course. If this area was also lost the community would have nowhere to walk away from developed areas. A loss of this last open space would cause a negative effect to the wellbeing of the community and local wildlife environment.

This site is adjoining Hellesdon. Object on the following grounds: The site is adjacent to Drayton Woods (which is a Country wildlife Site). it is remote from the village of Horsford, development will therefore put pressure on the facilities and amenities and add to the already severe traffic congestion in Hellesdon.

A development of this size would add to Hellesdons traffic problems and increase pressure on Hellesdon schools and doctors which are already stretched. If this development is passed the parish boundaries should be altered so at least Hellesdon would receive money to help address the pressure on amenities.

I object on the grounds that this site is away from the village of Horsford and therefore any development will place extra pressure on the amenities and facilities in Hellesdon and add to the traffic congestion that already exists within Hellesdon.
Also any local taxes will go to Horsford Parish Council, not Hellesdon which will bear the majority of the impact.
It is also adjacent to the Country Wildlife Site of Drayton Woods.

I object on the grounds that this site is adjacent to Drayton Woods, a country Wildlife site. Being remote from the village of Horsford the development would put extra pressure on the facilities and amenities in Hellesdon whilst Horsford would receive any local taxes. It would add to the already severe traffic congestion in Hellesdon

This piece of land, though technically part of Horsford is actually remote from that village and geographically a part of Hellesdon. It forms a very important green space for the residents of Hellesdon and there is already precious little of it in the parish.
Development would adversley affect the special site of Drayton Woods.
Hellesdon has already lost a huge amount of green space due to providing 1,000 new homes on the Golf Course site. Further development will add to traffic problems in Hellesdon and create extra demand for already overstretched services, whilst any extra funding would go to Horsdford!

building here will put strain on the roads and the facilities in Hellesdon. Although this area is Horsford residents will use the facilities of Hellesdon rather than cross the NDR. The facilities in Hellesdon are already over stretched. Hellesdon will lose even more open space. The application for a burial ground on this plot was turned down because the road infrastructure would not support the traffic generated. A housing estate will generate more traffic.
Finally the proximity of Norwich Airport Is this area not needed as an emergency crash area for the airport?

This area is Hellesdon. It has never been built on because it is part of the airport over shoot. It is entirely unsuitable for any development as the danger of an aircraft crashing on it is very real as has been proven previously. There is no suitable access onto a already heavily overloaded reepham road. It is immediately next to a country wildlife site. It will put more pressure on limited Hellesdon facilities and resources.

The proposal would mean losing access to the countryside by use of a permissive path that is much used by local dog walkers and residents. This access is highly important due to Hellesdon being overdeveloped and not having enough access to green space within it. This area should also be recognised as a 'green corridor' helping biodiversity from the wensum valley as identified in Hellesdon Neighbourhood Plan. In addition the impact upon services that are at capacity in Hellesdon would be felt by the residents who struggle to find parking and there Is no place to build more spaces.

Site Proposal GNLP0334
1. Environment destruction of Trees, Hedgerows
2. Pressure on Doctors and Dentists
3. Severe traffic congestion on Reepham Road
4. Severe "Urban Sprawl"
5. Flight Path for Norwich Airport
6. Loss of essential services: Police, Water, Gas, Electricity
7. No recreation areas - this will put pressure on Drayton Woods
8. Why was proposal for cemetery refused on the grounds that one house was to be built for supervisor

I am a little confused how this is classified as being within Horsford - the parish map on Horsford parish council website does not include this area and the Drayton Medical Practice does not cover this area. Hellesdon Medical Practice does so although classed as Horsford(?) it would fall to Hellesdon Medical Practice to look after any patients from new builds on this site. Why is this not classed as Hellesdon? Is it because there are already high numbers of homes being built on the Royal Norwich Golf Course (classed as Hellesdon) which will impact on facilities and services within Hellesdon?

Site adjacent to Drayton Woods (a wildlife site), used by many for dog walking, leisure walking, running and cycling. People need and deserve such space on their doorstep. It is important for a persons health and wellbeing.

Potentially up to 192 new homes on this site will have a significant negative impact on the traffic volumes on the Reepham Road, a road already heavily used as personally witnessed on a daily basis. This is already a difficult road to cross in Hellesdon for people accessing services, schools and the GP practice. There is no pedestrian crossing near the GP practice on Reepham Road which is essential considering the volumes of daily traffic and the need to protect pedestrians including the elderly and school children.

If the recycling centre relocates out of Norwich somewhere within this vicinity near the NDR the volume of traffic on Reepham Road is also likely to increase.

Another large site close to Hellesdon remote from Horsford contrary to the Horsford draft neighbourhood plan. It is situated adjacent to the Drayton woods country wildlife park and will add yet more pressure to the infrastructure and amenities of Hellesdon and will increase the already high traffic congestion in the area.

This site is outside of the settlement limit and is remote from the centre of Horsford which is contrary to their neighbourhood plan. The site is also adjacent to county wildlife site of Drayton Woods.

GNLP0334 Objections:
1. Affect on wildlife (Drayton Wood and Hedgerow)
2. Increase intraffic congestion/ pollution.
3. Pressure on services such as medical practice which is over stretched now
4. Destroy enjoyment of views of countryside and wildlife which was a major factor in buying property.
5. Safety zone area for airport
6. loss of recreational area
7. Pressure on facilities and amenities
8. Gas pipeline running through land

2. Increase intraffic congestion/ pollution.

building here will put strain on the roads and the facilities in Hellesdon. Although this area is Horsford residents will use the facilities of Hellesdon rather than cross the NDR. The facilities in Hellesdon are already over stretched. This development will mean that Hellesdon will lose even more open space. The application for a burial ground on this plot was turned down because the road infrastructure would not support the traffic generated. A housing estate will generate more traffic.
Finally the proximity of Norwich Airport Is this area not needed as an emergency crash area for the airport?

GNLP0334 - Objections to proposed dwellings on this site:

I do not want houses behind me as I live in a bungalow and would find being overlooked by houses intrusive.
Concerns for wildlife in area and impact it would have.
Strain it will have on local medical practice I use as its pushed to its limits already.
Impact on traffic congestion in area. As roads are a very busy and also not good for environment.
Also a very popular dog walking site.
Flight path over field too, where are planes supposed to land if in trouble.

GNLP0332

Another popular dog walking site, As I walk my dog there too.
Also lost of amenities land.
Again effect on wildlife & environment in general.
More stress on Hellesdon Medical practice & congestion on roads.

Objection due to the location away from Horsford and the major impact this would have on the services and roads used by Hellesdon residents. This site is adjacent to Drayton Woods and is used daily by many people for leisure, serving a positive impact on people's well being.There is already a lack of recreational space around Hellesdon with the housing development on the golf course.

This is a very important piece of green space that needs protecting for the local residents. There are footpaths around this field that are used and valued as its the only way Hellesdon people can get to the countryside or wide open spaces or walk their dogs. We should keep it as it is and keep the countryside close. We also have too many houses coming to Hellesdon for the services and parking that it has.

Like the land in 0332, this area forms a buffer at the edge of the City/suburbs. It is far away from Horsford amenities and will have a huge impact on the infrastructure and facilities of Hellesdon.

Would prejudice a no development' policy near the NDR. A key objective of the NDR was to free the radial roads to and from the City and allow the sustainable transport measures in the NDR DCO.

This site is outside of the settlement limit and within the Norwich Airport Public Safety Zone. It is so remote from Horsford centre facilities which is contrary to their neighbourhood plan which promotes development sites with good connectivity to Horsford village. The loss of valuable GI permissive footpaths makes this site unattractive. Development on this site other than agricultural use has already been refused by the planning inspectorate.

From Cllr Shelagh Gurney
Hellesdon will see significant housing growth in the next ten years, with housing in Eversley Road, 1000 new homes on the golf course, and the potential for further housing growth on the Hellesdon Hospital site. The local infrastructure cannot cope with any more development. The Doctors surgery is full, residents sometimes now waiting three to four weeks for an appointment. Any further housing growth adjacent to the parish boundary of Hellesdon, whether it be in Drayton or Horford technically will see those residents using the nearest facilities, which will not be those of the villages and parishes they lie in, but those in closer proximity in Hellesdon, yet those villages will have the added benefit of the Section 106 and CIL monies. For that reason alone, any future development adjacent to the Hellesdon Boundary is not of any benefit to Hellesdon. Schools are already oversubscribed, roads are jammed up, despite the Minho impact of the NDR. I cannot comment on proposals for land to the east of the Reepham Road as I live adjacent to a field boundary. However my residents view is that any further development of new housing along this periphery is not welcome for the same reasons as detailed above. Shelagh Gurney

This is a site adjoining Hellesdon, not the village of Horsford, so development would put undue pressure on Hellesdon.

Outside of settlement limit. Remote from the parish of Horsford and contrary to their Neighbourhoodvplan.

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.
