what a disaster this is going to turn out to be ,the council and developers need to look in the mirror and take a good look of themselves .to knock down two 2030,s historic houses on Hexham road for access to this minefield of houses your suggesting is beyond belief ,who ever sanctioned this so called site hold your head in shame now before a brick is laid. Site B leave it alone for god sake its green our you also colour blind.

I strongly object to this added traffic and unnecessary building work, there are more than enough houses for sale which are not even selling anyway as it is!!

Its totally disgusting that another area of greenbelt is under threat. The importance of our open spaces is being totally disregarded in order to fill the pockets of the developers. These open spaces are a vital part of the area, once gone they cannot be replaced.

Why does the greenbelt always have to be the solution to any building projects?. There is so many other areas in Newcastle that are available for houses to be built. maybes its the profit margins are not enough?.

This is another example of a greedy business riding roughshod over members of the public just so they can fill their capacious pockets.

Don't agree with demolishing two very good houses to make the main access road entrance on Hexham Road. Devalues a number of properties in the area.

Option 1 access not necessary and disruptive to existing traffic flow.

I live at number 234 Hexham Road (earmarked for demolition for access - which I was not informed of when renting the house) with my wife & family. The property is a beautiful family home with plenty of character. The views across the Tyne valley are magnificent. There is far too much building on green belt, it would be bordering on criminal to build on the land behind this property. I know there is little I can do to help the residents who own their propertys but I hope this helps in some small way. I fully support this petition.

don't spoil a lovely green belt at drove road ,the access to the site proposed on Hexham road to knock down 2 houses is absolutely ridiculous .

There are many brown belt sites without destroying our precious green belt. Once its gone its gone forever.

I really can't understand how the developers think they can just do what they want with our beautiful countryside . We need to stand together as a community and stop them from turning our greenbelt into a building site for the next 5-10 yrs .

According to the government, sustainable development can be defined as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." But if that is the case then the continued loss of so much agricultural land, on top of what has already been lost since the start of the industrial revolution, necessarily compromises the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, since if they need the land to grow food it will not be available to them. The whole One Core Strategy Plan is therefore in breach of the government's own "core principle" underpinning planning and therefore should be thrown out by the planning inquiry inspector. The protest groups should make sure that this point is made to the inspector and recorded in the record of the inquiry. If the inspector ignores this fact then their may be grounds for appeal against any decision in favour of the strategy plan. The whole concept of "sustainable growth" is false because growth and sustainability from an already unsustainable base line are incompatible things. There is nothing sustainable about a plan which involves the building of thousands of new homes across Newcastle, and the consequent massive destruction of green fields. To possess any sort of integrity the plan should be either about growth or about sustainability. If climate change is actually happening, which the government argues it is, then we need to preserve all the green fields we can, not just in Newcastle but nationally so that we can cope with the future loss of land to rising sea levels and still maintain food production.
