Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 19986

Received: 17/02/2020

Respondent: Mrs Barbara Phillips

Representation Summary:

Like many neighbours in Chedgrave we are all concerned and very disappointed at these proposals. For twenty years I have enjoyed a peaceful retirement in Snows Lane overlooking the countryside and the wildlife.
Now 20 new homes are proposed.
There is even the possibility of widening Snows Lane which would be disastrous. Why spoil our life even more, why not have access directly onto Langley Road. When there is heavy rain water rushes down across the fields onto Snows Lane and fortunately this runs downhill to Langley Road. Serious consideration needs to be given to drainage and possible flooding.
I have been waiting one month for a doctor’s appointment and parking in Loddon is difficult. Schools are overcrowded.
How will traffic from the proposed development get to the A146 surely not down Big Back Lane or Rectory Road.
All very worrying for the residents of Chedgrave. Will I get compensation for the money I will lose should I decide to sell my bungalow it will surely be devalued. If Snows Lane was to be widened will the residents be compensated for all the building work etc.
I feel my comments will not even be considered.

I attended a meeting in Chedgrave today to examine the plans in more detail and to discuss matters arising.
Like many neighbours in Chedgrave we are all concerned and very disappointed at these proposals. For twenty years I have enjoyed a peaceful retirement in Snows Lane overlooking the countryside and the wildlife.
Now 20 new homes are proposed. I appreciate that whatever I say will not have any influence on your plans. There is even the possibility of widening Snows Lane which would be disastrous. Why spoil our life even more, why not have access directly onto Langley Road. When there is heavy rain water rushes down across the fields onto Snows Lane and fortunately this runs downhill to Langley Road. Serious consideration needs to be given to drainage and possible flooding.
I have been waiting one month for a doctor’s appointment and parking in Loddon is difficult. Schools are overcrowded.
How will traffic from the proposed development get to the A146 surely not down Big Back Lane or Rectory Road.
All very worrying for the residents of Chedgrave. Will I get compensation for the money I will lose should I decide to sell my bungalow it will surely be devalued. If Snows Lane was to be widened will the residents be compensated for all the building work etc.
As I said I feel my comments will not even be considered.
