We conditionally object to this proposal.
We note that the site is part of the Mousehold Heath glaciofluvial outwash plain and is close to the findspot of a notable Neanderthal 'bout coupé' handaxe found on slightly lower ground near Valley Drive, 1935. It is recorded as NHER 468. It is associated with superficial deposits of solifluction origin rather than the underlying glaciofluvial deposits, which implies that the handaxe could have moved into its present position from higher ground.
If development were granted we strongly request that plans be made conditional upon a watching brief for possible Palaeolithic archaeological interest.

Great site would be good to see lots of homes use this site, close to amenities.

Concerned at the proposal for development on the Gothic Club (former Family Church) site in view of the site forming part of the heath and the football pitch having become overgrown. Vigilance is needed to ensure a satisfactory outcome.
1) [Re adopted local plan allocation CC17a, Barrack Street - this is not a GNLP site submission] In Barrack Street the site now being used as a car park surrounded by green fence once had 50 good homes on it. Since the eviction of residents and the subsequent demolition of homes and the promise of new homes, offices etc nothing has been done. Please let me know what is happening, including the replacement of the mature trees that also went. I am angry that this situation has been allowed to continue and would like answers.
2) I have just been to the Forum to see the plans for future Norwich. Two items that concern me are, St James Meadow where the agents for the owners want to change the plans [GNLP0409] and the site on Heartsease Lane of the old Gothic Club [GNLP0570], later to be church, sadly burnt down and now in multiple usage . Please remember that 50 good homes were demolished on the Barrack St site with agreement of Norwich City council and that homes were promised. The Gothic site is part of the heath and I notice that the adjacent football pitch is now overgrown and being neglected, the owner Mr D'acre [sic] has already asked for the site to be available for development. I hope that we can rely on you and your team to be vigilant on both issues.
