The development would mean the loss of a glorious view from our own home. The situation would be exacerbated by the site rising away from the village, giving extra elevation to any houses built there. In times past, the roof line of any new build has had to be in keeping with the rest of the village.
The development would be in contravention of our Parish Plan which calls for a small development of affordable homes only.
The site is close to Langley School which already creates traffic blockages in the early morning and afternoon. 400 day pupils are brought to and collected from the school, nearly half of them in cars, the rest in mini-buses, together with 78 non-residential teachers and 65 supporting staff.
The natural exit for traffic from the site to the A146 would be via Big Back Lane, a single track road with a dangerous junction where it joins Norwich Road. Thereafter, joining the A146 is hazardous. This situation is not assisted by there being few opportunities to work locally.
The local schools, dentists, and the medical centre are already all full.
Part of the site was previously used as a burial ground for animal carcasses resulting from the foot and mouth outbreak in the 1960's.
The development will have an adverse effect on our environment. The site forms an attractive backcloth to our village, and the existing villagers don't want to lose it.
