Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20191

Received: 29/02/2020

Respondent: Mr Simon Page

Representation Summary:

Main reason for objection to any further development in Lingwood at present is the infrastructure access into the village from A47 is getting more dangerous and the Norfolk highways dept are not taking our concerns seriously. Major road improvements need to happen before allowing an increase into residential development can be considered.
The proposed dualling of the A47 at North Burlingham will decrease road access into Lingwood, but will increase traffic flow on very narrow roads with tight bends.
My concerns are safety access primarily, without adequate footpaths.
Summary more homes, more traffic, more less safety!!
