Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20877

Received: 13/03/2020

Respondent: Lingwood and Burlingham Parish Council

Representation Summary:

This site is too large, 110 homes would definitely be too much for our Village. Infrastructure is not sufficient. The land is to the South of the Village and would encourage traffic through the village to get to it. The site is off two very narrow lanes with little chance of widening from the junctions off Norwich Road.

The figure of 50 - 60 can be reduced if we use the brownfield site at the Old School Site on Chapel Road, (outline 22-25). The first permission 20140979 was an outline permission given on 22/4/2015 so this would have lapsed on 21/4/2015. The later permission 20190278, again outline, was given permission on 16/10/2019. The GNLP housing figures are based on the permissions as at 1 /4/2019; so the former school site was not included in the GNLP figures (as the first permission had lapsed and the second permission had not been given). Therefore it should be taken into account in considering the scale of development in Lingwood. With the original permission, Lingwood & Burlingham Parish Council were given the Nursery Building to try to encourage a Doctors Surgery to service the Village, this has been taken away.
