Too many houses put on this area will exceed the villages capacity for country living and turn it into urban sprawl. The local existing infrastructure will not support the resultant influx of people. Our narrow country lanes are not suitable to accommodate the extra generated traffic To widen them would destroy many ancient oak trees and wildlife. The proposed land does not drain easily and in the past the sewage pumping station in the corner of this plot has failed through over capacity resulting in flooding gardens with raw sewage on Neves Close which is adjacent to this plot. Our new school may find it difficult to accommodate the extra pupils generated by an increase in village population as a result of these plans. In addition there are no medical facilities available in Lingwood and the ones available in neighbouring villages are already over subscribed.
