As a resident of Lingwood I am concerned about the impact a new housing development would have on the village and it’s residents. As a parent a major concern is the impact on road safety as widening the road will increase the speed of traffic passing the Millennium Green Park and travelling along post office road, where we live with two young children. I am also concerned about the increased traffic new housing will bring to Blofield Road, which can already be dangerous as there are several points where two cars cannot pass each other. The infrastructure of the village is also a significant concern as the village has no medical facilities and surely new residents will put further pressure on Blofield Medical Practice. My children will be starting school within the next few years and I am also concerned about the number of new residents and the impact on the school. Having moved from Norwich just 18 months ago to raise our children in the countryside, with small class sizes at school and in a location we consider to be good in terms of road safety - a new development comprises all of these things. The view of the Grade 1 Medieval Church from Post Office Road is loved by us as much as the other residents and it would be heart-breaking to see that go forever. I am also concerned about the impact on the environment and the loss of mature oak trees.
