We live on Buckenham Road in a mid terrace house.

*Buckenham Lane and Buckenham Road are single width roads with no pavement on either. I walk both my children to school and already have to make way for traffic by mounting grass verges or going into peoples gardens to keep my family safe. With more houses come cars, therefore this will make our Roads extremely unsafe.

*Cross Roads at Buckenham Lane is already very congested due to the fact it's next to the Spar Shop and Chip shop. Our car has already been hit twice at this location due to the the amount of traffic and insufficient space.

*Cross road at Buckenham Road is also very dangerous. The corner is so tight people cut the corner vearing into the opposite lane. This is at the point of many residential care homes where ambulance access is often needed. Also cars have mounted pavements at this point as it is directly where a bus stop is, endangering my children and anyone else that correctly use a footpath.

Our son attends Lingwood Primary Academy. His reception class is already at capacity.

Farm traffic is heavy on both Buckenham Road and Buckenham Lane, taking up the entire width of these roads.

We have no doctors surgery or dentist in Lingwood.

Our property is unique in that it is the only terraced house situated on Buckenham Rd, so we have no natural light from either side of our property. Houses placed directly behind our property are in danger of plunging our already dark house in to further darkness.

When Norwich Road floods at The Huntsman Pub the road can be closed to traffic. The other route out of Lingwood is through a manually operated train barrier. This would struggle to cope with the amount of additional cars the proposed 110 properties would cause (on the assumption 2 cars per property would place an additional 220 cars onto our very small single lane roads).

Our new Village Hall already struggles to cope with the amount of people that attend it during popular events such as Bonfire Night.

Light, noise and air pollution from the proposed site can only have a negative impact on our village. Our back garden backs on to the field of the proposed site. We get to watch deer, rabbits, hares,pheasants, grouse, bats owls and a multitude of birds from our back garden. All of this would be lost if the proposed site was to go ahead.


The proposed site is approximately 200 yards from a known flood area. An area that has flooded so regularly that our local pub has shut due to the amount of times it has flooded in the past 2 years. this included the flow of raw sewerage.

I urge you before any further decision is made to visit our property so we can show you the concerns we have, especially road safety and lack of light.
