Re proposed development reference GNLP0463.

I attended an open meeting on the 17th February at the Brien Clark rooms at Chedgrave to see the proposed development plan for the Chedgrave and Loddon areas.
Living in Chedgrave my main concern was with the above plan.

I would object to this development for the following reasons.
1. We were told at the meeting that the first phase would only involve twenty houses although I have seen plans showing between seventy and eighty houses to be built in this development. With an avenge of two cars per household this would mean an additional 150 cars on our already overloaded local roads. There would be very little extra employment in Loddon so these vehicles would go to Norwich or Lowestoft. In either case more vehicles would go through Loddon, which is already very congested or through Big Back Lane which is only wide enough for one vehicle and then turn right onto the A146 which is already a very busy and dangerous junction.
2. I noticed from the plans that this development takes in the corner of Langley Road and Snows Lane. I have been informed that this corner was the burial ground for cattle killed by the outback of Foot & Mouth disease some years ago and to be was not to be built on!
3. Langley Road itself is always busy and services Langley School whose mini buses also create congestion and to have even more cars on this road would only make matters worse.
4. Our Schools are full, we have to wait two weeks for a doctor’s appointment and our dentist cannot take anymore NHS patients.
5. We all understand the need for more housing but these houses should not be built without an increase in the local facilities to cope with the extra local demands.


I trust the above will be considered if this development is taken to the next stage.
