WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW!

FACT - An Outline Planning Application has been submitted by City College to Norwich City Council for the complete redevelopment of the College campus.

FACT - This will mean total demolition of all the existing buildings razing the entire campus to the ground.

FACT - The new buildings will include 4 blocks probably up to 5 storeys high, other ancillary buildings at the North (5 storey) and South ends of the campus, an inner ring road and a two storey car park to the rear built in two phases over a period of up to eight years from now.

FACT - Don't be fooled - the so called recent 'Consultation Open Days' resulted in no amendments or changes being brought about to a layout and design already agreed and approved by the College in conjunction with their professional team, the architect and in discussion with the Planning Department. In fact data supplied by residents on returned questionnaires and collected by the College during these ‘Open Days' has been manipulated and used against us to further justify their proposals.

FACT - Don't be fooled - if this Outline Planning Application is approved by the Local Authority it will set in stone a re-development that neighbours and residents will not properly comprehend, nor have any further influence over - any 'Consultation' will be another PR exercise and again achieve nothing.

FACT - Don't be fooled - proposed use, design, external appearances or general details of proposed buildings are not known, as this information is not required at Outline stage.

FACT - If you live on IPSWICH ROAD, CECIL ROAD, GROVE WALK or IPSWICH GROVE your quality of life including loss of privacy, blocking of natural daylight and sun, vehicular noise, exhaust, headlight and light pollution, unsociable hours of operation and traffic congestion will affect you during construction and thereafter forever.

FACT - If you live further afield - IPSWICH ROAD, HORNER CLOSE, MANOR CLOSE, LIME TREE ROAD, TOWN CLOSE ROAD, CECIL ROAD, TRAFFORD ROAD, GROVE ROAD or GROVE AVENUE you will also be affected. Increasing volumes of construction traffic and an increase in vehicular traffic involving buses, coaches, cars etc will involve locally an increase in noise, exhaust pollution and congestion during construction and thereafter forever. Note - during demolition and construction of Phase 1 there will be little or no car parking available on the campus.

FACT - Nothing can be done unless all residents, neighbours and those concerned band together and let their concerns be known. You do have the right to have your say and therefore try to influence and amend the density and mass of this development.

FACT – Do not rely on others. It is vitally important to understand that we need the help of each and everyone of you.

FACT – You will have an opportunity to object by writing individually, by adding your signature to a group letter or by stating your objections in person, at the planning committee meeting at the appropriate time.

FACT - We will tell you what you can do and how to do it.
