Result:
Thanks to all who signed the petition and helped in seeking changes to this application. It has now been withdrawn and resubmitted as application 07/00785/F with the tree saved! Unfortunately there are few other changes in the new application, still at 94 beds with the same traffic congestion and fire engine noise concerns.
A new petition will be made shortly.

We feel it is very important to correct one misconception made in a comment at the end of the petition. There is no plans for a Lidle Store or for any other store of that nature on the site. This can be confirmed by contacting the NELM Development Trust.
Background (Preamble):
Re: Planning Application No: 07/00271/F for Ivy Road, Norwich. We do not oppose the construction of a care home.

1. We do oppose the application in its current form.

2. We think a reduction in size of the care home from proposed 94 bed to 50 bed would better suit the area. We question the planning for parking in the office building area as the future occupants are 'Unknown'

3. We a very concerned over the Highway safety/access and inconvienience to the North Earlham Fire Station. The noise pollution and traffic mayhem construction/visitors and tradespersons will cause in the short and long term.

4. We oppose the uprooting of the established tree that is currently under a preservation order. It is an established tree and the only one visable from the roadside next to the Fire Station. Its removal will not be adequatly replaced by new planting.
Petition:
We, the undersigned, are opposed to planned size of the 94 bed Care home/Office complex, this should be more carefully considered and be reduced in size. We want the access road to be more carefully considered and planned. We want consultation with The Norfolk Fire Brigade over traffic concerns they may have. Off Rd parking for future staff/visitors etc so as not to congest Ivy Rd and access to Roe Drive.

The planning to be reviewed so as to incorporate the Tree which has a current Tree Preservation Order on it next to the Fire Station in the final scheme. It enhances the view north along Ivy Rd and should not be removed.
