GNLP2173

I strongly object to any housing developments on this plot behind heath crescent.

I brought this house 4 years ago because I had a 1 year old and I wanted him to be brought up in a peaceful area on a quiet street where we could still see some green areas from our windows! Green space is something we are so short of nowadays, especially in hellesdon.

I have to walk across the busy ring road ( with no crossing lights ) to take my son to the nearest park!

Personally, every single reason why I purchased a house on this road would be taken away by a housing estate being built behind my back garden. The traffic will be terrible, noise will therefore increase, and the view of that nice green space will be replaced by yet more bricks!

Although I appreciate that the space sitting there doing absolutely nothing is a complete waste I would ask someone to entertain the idea that given that hellesdon lacks green space anyway, that maybe we consider this space being used as a recreational area with parking providing. Somewhere for parents to take their kids and people to take their pets? That way we wouldn't completely lose the green space and traffic would only be increased during certain periods of the day.
Seems like a fairer compromise to me than dumping a building site on people's back gardens with no benefit to them whatsoever.

Many thanks

He is now 5 and enjoys playing on his bike and often uses heath crescent as the traffic flow is light. If this project was to go ahead the traffic implications on our quiet road would be enormous!

My back garden backs directly on to this playing field and my current view would completely change from the back of my house. Again. One of the reasons I broughtt this house was because of its rare lovely view despite

I have lived here for nearly 50 years. The traffic is so bad now trying to get onto the Cromer Road. I think it is disgraceful knocking a bungalow down so more traffic can get through. There is already an entrance to get into the grounds. Every bit of land is being built on. What about Doctors, schools and the wear and tear on the roads. Please plant 50 trees no houses.

GNLP2173 1. There are very little areas for recreational activities in the hellesdon area.
2. Recent of building in fersley road has already increase traffic on cromer road. This will increase problem.
3. Fifers lane also very busy with traffic at peak times,
4. All traffic from Cromer Road causes problems and hold ups at boundary junctions.
GNLP0332R
GNLP0334R - There are three main routes through Hellesdon into Norwich City Centre. Namely Drayton Rd, Reedham Rd and Cromer Road on Drayton Rd 'Green land' has been threaten to build on golf course. When completed this will cause many traffic holds ups. If you intend to build houses (possibly 1000), This will make travelling on Reedham Rd very difficult as this road onto the boundary lights is not suitable at present and extra traffic from the 'building sites' will make matters worse.

The Cromer road is not an alternative route because this is a busy road made worse by the building of houses in eversley road and the proposed building of houses in heath crescent.

With all these 'planned new homes'. (There are already insufficient services available in Hellesdon I.E Doctors, Schools etc.) Where are the 'new people' going to obtain these services?
If Horsford are receiving money from developers, why should Hellesdon residents be inconvenienced.

We have a hard job getting out of Heath roads and of cromer road.

The road on heath crescent isn't suitable to take more traffic. To enter Cromer Road and Fifers Lane from Heath Crescent is an nightmare. The volume on Cromer Road and Fifer Lane is still immense.
Reepham Road isn't big enough for the volume of traffic it will bring into the village.

It's a problem to get an app. At the doctors so adding more housing is making it worse. The A&E will be overrun with people who get an app. With the G.P.
Green Space we need for relaxation and health helping to relieve depression and stress. Saving app. With the G.P.
Not enough local school to take more children.

I thought that the recent planning permission for the homes on the golf course were all Hellesdon had to give in terms of land for new houses. I don't understand how any can justify the building of further houses on the prosed site. Hellesdon has always been a lovely quiet community and we are in danger of losing that with the prosed houses. The residents of Hellesdon should have some land left that isn't built on and to build on what is currently airport 'crash' land is completely ridiculous. I also don't see how the infrastructure of the roads can cope with more houses. There also haven't been any information given to residents with regards to schools, doctor's surgeries and dentists. It's difficult enough to get into Hellesdon schools without having to fight an 1000's more people for places.

I moved here in 1979 following the re-location of my husband's job. He died in 1990 and I have lived her happily since then. I am now 84 years of age and hope to be here for the rest of my life.
I do not want building works and all the upheaval it will cause to this peaceful close.
I will do all I can to keep it that way

GNLP2173 - Heath cresent / Jarrolds site is the building of these houses the means to take away yet another recreation area.

GNLP0332R - Covert & Reepham Road - Are these houses being built too close to this airport.
With this amount of houses. Shouldn't we get a new hospital and doctor's surgeries new road to take increased traffic?
More police officers and ambulances and fire services.

GNLP0334R - west of Reepham Road
North of Doctor Surgery - with this amount of houses being built. I am concerned that it will be almost impossible to get a doctor's appointment at our local surgery. If there are no more surgeries built we need more doctors as it is. Having the golf course built on surely we have had enough building in our area. Hellesdon will not be the 2nd best place to live. It will be one of the worst.

GNLP2173 - This already seem to be a high density area

GNLP0332R - This area is too close to the airport runway (noise and safety). As there are 1,000 houses to be built on the golf course, pressure on roads, services and infrastructure will be enormous.

GNLP0334R - The problem applying to 0332R apply to this proposal. Surely this area of Norwich has fair share of development.

GNLP2173 - This area formerly the Jarrolds Sports Field is the only green space anywhere on the east side of Cromer Road. Families living that side have no parks/recreation areas to take their children without having to cross extremely busy major roads. This is a valuable green space that need to be kept as recreation for residents in that area.

GNLP0334R and GNLP0332R - I have serious concerns about the building of up to 1,000 houses combined on these two area. Firstly it would mean up to 2,000 extra vehicles using the Reepham Road which is already a very busy road and it is not suitable for such volume of traffic being only a Broad and quite narrow in places. Surely it would make more sense to site housing nearer to the new Northern Distributor Road to save more traffic coming into Hellesdon. Hellesdon already has new large housing developments underway on the old golf course, with more planned for the Hellesdon Hospital site and I feel it just cannot sustain even more. The doctor's surgery would be inadequate as it is already full to capacity, the local services, library, community centre etc. would be overwhelmed. There is very limited parking at all the local shops and it is already difficult to find a space so more cars coming in the boundary of Horsford, it is technically classed as coming in the boundary of Horsford, and it is obvious that anyone living there would use Hellesdon facilities as they are so much closer. Also these areas are directly under flight path to Norwich Airport.

This land is ideal for the young people of Hellesdon as there is little space at this end of Hellesdon for children to run & have fun. Also more houses more children more cars more spaces needed for schools and doctors.

This is never taken into account when building as money for houses is more important if the houses are affordable (which is good) it would mean more children and less places to play. Also all the school and doctors are full and even if you are registered seeing a doctor takes weeks

0332r - this development would clearly have problems again with traffic and the same as above

0334r - same as above.

GNLP2173 - 50/60 more houses crammed into a piece of land with limited access - great!! You have to fight this issues grow a back bone & say NO! PLEASE

GNLP0332R - 600/700 Houses!! Roads? Services? Doctors? Traffic? Schools? & all on the end of a flight path / runway, god forbid, a disaster waiting to happen!!

Hellesdon is FULL!! Don't spoil it, listen to us please!!

I strongly object to the proposals. The reasons being that the roads are at present grid locked at times making it extremely difficult to get our onto Reepham Road.
The medical centre / schools are at full capacity now where are all the extra people going to go!! Plus the problem of extra pollution.

We have more than enough extra houses as it is with the current building on the golf course. There is practically hardly any green space for the young children / teenagers for them to have a park / football / sports facilities. Therefore I propose that no houses are built on the mentioned site but the area should be preserved for the younger generation.

GNLP0332R - This will take up more green space and create more traffic on Reepham road which already carries lots of traffic. Also creates more air pollution and added danger to the elderly people.

GNLP0334R - Again more green space lost and more congestion on the already congested roads in this area.

GNLP2173 - Would be more beneficial as a children's play area and less congestion on the roads.

No we do not want more traffic. Prince Andrews road is a quiet residential area. This road is not suitable for more traffic. The condition of existing road surface and pathways of Prince Andrews Road, Heath Cresent and Brabazon road are in a poor state of repair as it is.. There is congestion on Cromer Road already and cars are queuing to exit and enter both Heath Cresent and Brabazon Road. Hazards exist already with several cars parked at the Cromer road Brabazon road entrance, and the same on Heath Cresent. A new housing development will encourage car users to travel along Prince Andrews road/ Brabazon road to exit on to Cromer Road. Think of the home owners, children playing, walking to school, who have lived in the area for years. No! No! No! how dare you even think about it. Keep Jarrolds as a sports ground venue .

My father has lived here for more than 50 years and enjoyed the quiet environment and pleasant view. He is now 90 and the construction traffic, demolition work and general disruption next to his home would cause him stress and confusion. This proposal would detract from the amenity of his home and reduce its value. Prince Andrew's Road has always been a peaceful residential area with minimal traffic and this proposal seems likely to create congestion. I would much rather see the sports ground retained as a public open space.

GNLP2173 - I am concerned that the single track entrance to Jarrolds playing field on Heath Crescent will be widened to make it an entrance to the proposed housing estate thus increasing traffic on heath crescent.

GNLP0334R - All the extra houses to be built on this plan and GNLP2173 will put further strains on doctor's surgery, school roads in Hellesdon

GNLP0332R - 0334R - I understand that there is a need for new housing, but I feel these sites are not right. Hellesdon is already a traffic problem at times, and with new houses to go upon the golf course and hospital sites it will only get worse. All the extra homes on the about sites, adding in the possible extra 1,000 for sites of Reepham Road surely is just too much for Hellesdon?
The road networks is too busy as is, schools at capacity, medical facilities also. The green spaces are not big enough as they are. Surely Hellesdon is already doing its bit for housing? If all above was to be addressed. To a satisfactory level, then I think the land could be considered. But I do believe Hellesdon is already stretched and these developments would not help Hellesdon is already stretched and these developments would not help Hellesdons problems.

GNLP2173 - I think this land would be ideal to be used as community land.

Objection to this development for building roads can not cope with extra traffic no community land in this is lost to building

GNLP2173 - Back council plan to purchase land as a community asset. Without this site there will be no public green space north east of the Cromer road. With a possibility of up to 50 properties on site. This could mean an additional up to 100 vehicles on small access road prior to main Cromer road which is already a very busy road.

GNLP2173 - Back the council in acquiring this land as a community asset. As a community asset. As not enough green land in north of Hellesdon if this goes nothing this side of Cromer Road. No thought to environment or community.
Cromer road traffic is very bad let alone with 35-50 homes coming onto this road - pollution to environment by ? 100 extra cars.
Will not be a nice place to live due to pollution.

GNLP2173 - Hellesdon does not have enough open space for leisure activities need more medical services.

GNLP0332R - Parking services access to countryside will be difficult.
Hellesdon has done it bit in providing housing we not need anymore.
Cars already cause backlogs on our roads they cannot cope with more.

How on earth will our doctors cope it really is a joke

GNLP2173 - Object to this development
1) There is no community development locally e.g. Tennis / Bowles etc.
2) Traffic for extra 100 cars will make life miserable for local residents as there is only 1 access road.

I am concerned that the proposal for 50 houses is too dense for the size of the plot. Prince Andrews Road is a narrow, winding road and it would cause existing residents a great deal of inconvenience in accessing their properties if vehicles associated with the proposed building works were parked on Prince Andrews Road. It would also have an impact on safety for pedestrians and road users. Therefore, the development needs to be small enough to accommodate these vehicles on the building plot.

A much smaller housing development would be more appropriate for the size and location of the plot. Housing surrounding the development is predominantly bungalows, the new housing should not exceed two stories to ensure the existing housing is not overshadowed and overlooked.

Creating access to the plot from Prince Andrews Road in addition to the current access from Heath Crescent could cause a rat run to be re-created from Fifers Lane to Cromer Road. The addition of perhaps 100 cars from this proposed development will only add to the congestion already encountered on Cromer Road and Fifers Lane. A smaller development would have less of an impact on the surrounding roads.

A considerable amount of additional housing has been proposed for Hellesdon and 1000 houses are currently being built on the golf course. To support all this additional housing public services and amenities will need to be expanded to cope with the additional population. In particular local roads, schools, doctor surgeries and parks/recreation grounds, the latter of which Hellesdon already has less than the recommended amount for the size of the village. Could part of this plot be used for recreation, as it is no longer used by Jarrolds, to begin to address this imbalance?

GNLP2173 - Keep as community. Previous Jarrods Sports site Objection - to building up as Hellesdon needs community sports areas. Also there will be large volume extra traffic exiting on one road. HAZZARD!
We need council sports centres, not cycle lanes as we can't all ride bikes.

Objection to GNLP0334R
To much impact on Hospital, schools, G>P surgery. Extra cars mean extra fumes - increase pollution. Adverse effect on global warming.
Too many trees cut down - we need birds!
Another thought - police numbers are low, how are they going to manage CRIME!
FIRE - do we have enough firemen?
Hospitals, schools, police and GPs- already struggling without extra development
N.B plenty of grown site to develop.

I find this proposal totally unacceptable for numerous reasons, one of the main reasons is the high volume of traffic it will cause on Prince Andrews Road and Heath Crescent leading out to Cromer road. With potentially 50-150 extra cars, vans and delivery lorries etc I can see both junctions to Cromer road backing up until they meet each other in the middle. Another main reason is this side of Hellesdon is crying out for green space and this is a ready made facility that would enhance what the Parish council already maintains, there are tennis courts and an international sized bowling green going to waste if this goes through. The road infrastructure in this area is already poor and overloaded, this development would only increase the problems local residents have now. Access to the site even with the house removed it totally inadequate.

GNLP0032R + 0034R - The amount of houses proposed will put a lot of pressure on doctors, schools and local transport.
It will also increase the traffic flow, with enormous building works, traffic, the pollution in the local area will increase dramatically and effect the health of local residents the doctors in the area are already stretched so any more pressure on them will be even worse for local residents, schools are also full in the area so how many extra schools, doctors and dentists surgeries are proposed in the new scheme, if none it is not practical.
GNLP2173 - Should still be kept as recreational site for the use of local residents.

I would like to voice my concerns regarding the Heath Crescent, Heath Close, Prince Andrews Road Redevelopment of Jarrolds Recreation ground for further housing. Firstly we have enough poor air quality with the Norwich Airport, traffic hold ups on the fifers lane and Cromer road congestion. To add to this you appear to be proposing 50 dwellings which may mean a possible 100 cars in and out all day 7 days a week. As for the one way in one way out does not sound plausible to me, because of the dividing bollards on heath crescent, if they were to remain as they are people would not abide by the scheme. for example, if one is entering prince Andrews rd from Cromer and vice verse they would not exit heath crescent and go onto congested fifers lane. They would leave prince Andrews rd. Also, if the bollards were removed we would be back to the old rat run between fifers lane and comer road on heath crescent.
I believe to old Jarrolds recreation site should remain a green are for all local people to enjoy.

We are very concerned about the possible loss of green space in Hellesdon, which is already very short of recreational area. This site, previously Jarrolds Sport Ground, would be an ideal community facility - which today when we are encouraged to be more active for the sake of our health, would be a good use of this site. We hope you will consider this when making your decision on its future use.
