Concerns:
1. Environmental issues and wildlife (Drayton woods country wildlife site - Hedgerows and trees)
2. Pressure on medical services - already an over stretched doctors surgery
3. Traffic access, the additional traffic would all use Reepham road which already has severe traffic congestion.
4. Will become an urban sprawl - we need a green 'wedge' between Hellesdon - Drayton - Horsford - for each to keep identity.
5. Because of the distance from Horsford this will put pressure on the facilities of Hellesdon.
6. Direct flight path. Norwich Airport and Helicopters.
7. Pressure on infrastructure and essential services.
8. Infringement on existing properties
9. If the cemetery proposal was refused because of water levels - how can 190 houses be considered for the same site.

Please, PLEASE, do not build any more houses in Hellesdon and in particular on Cottenham's Park. This land was designated for recreational use for the Hellesdon people! How dare you over rule this licence so that you can build houses, for the people who will effectively be living on the Horsford Boundary!!! This land is one of the few remaining Green areas left in Hellesdon, particularly now you have decided to ruin the beautiful golf course by building on there! I wonder how many Broadland Council Staff actually live in Hellesdon and see the ruin it has become? It takes me over 30 minutes to drive 2.3 miles to work every day! Despite the NDR, which you promised would make a difference, Hellesdon is still gridlocked! I live on the Reepham Road and have lived in Hellsedon nearly 50 years. Shame on you for pursuing with your devastation of our community; for destroying our beautiful green areas and all the wildlife within them - this is our heritage!!!
I reject this proposal on the grounds of: the loss of last remaining green land and impact to wildlife; insufficient road infrastructure (despite the NDR, everyone still passes through Reepham Road for the city centre and they always will!); insufficient proposals/provision given to local doctors and dentists etc.; and let's not forget any CIL money for the development would go to Drayton and Horsford Councils, while residents would, undoubtedly, be using Hellesdon facilities! Just criminal! Please just stop now. No more houses!

I object on the grounds of it being detrimental to the landscape and character of the local area. I have grown up in these woods! They are one of the few natural, beautiful woodland areas left in Hellesdon!! They do NOT need to be developed ANY way!! Aside of destroying their natural beauty and the wildlife within them, it will cause access and highway issues and will put, yet MORE, pressure on the facilities of Hellesdon, which the new occupants would undoubtedly use!!

GNLP 0302
I object on the grounds of it removing MORE of the green area left between Hellesdon and Horsford. Although it will be technically based in the parish of Horsford, it will actually be closer to Hellesdon and therefore, it will be the Hellesdon facilities, amenities and road infrastructure that will suffer.

GNLP 0419
I object on the grounds of it removing yet MORE of the green area and natural woodland left between Hellesdon and Horsford. The access will be straight onto a 50mph road and once again, this development will end up putting stress on the facilities, traffic congestion and amenities of Hellesdon!

GNLP 0289/ 0290/ 0301/ 0329/ 0302/ 0332/ 0333/ 0334/ 0419/ 0381
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

This site is in the parish of Horsford yet it backs onto my property in Westwood Drive in Hellesdon. This field is part of the green corridor round Norwich and is adjacent to Drayton Woods which is a Country [sic] Wildlife Site. I feel that Hellesdon has already done its bit in the provision of new housing by the recent building on Eversley Road and the soon to be built upon Norwich Golf Course (a travesty). This end of the city is already severely congested with traffic and facilities are stretched to the limit. You cannot get an appointment at the doctors' surgery (3 week wait the last time I tried) so why put more people into an area which is already full? I would favour a new settlement somewhere else with new facilities/infrastructure or something like the elusive Anglia Square development on a brownfield site which could regenerate the entire area.
Let's move forward and into the future. The easy option is to build on the green field sites and sprawl out ever further into the countryside. Easy isn't always best.

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.
