GNLP0380 is the preferred site of Lingwood & Burlingham Parish Council and will meet our new allocation of 50 - 60 in combination with the brownfield site on Chapel Road. Traffic will not have to go through the village to get to it. There would be a traffic calming effect with the original proposed Roundabout at Chapel Road/Post Office Road junction. The impact on entering the village will be minimal as Neves Close is already to the left on entering the Village from Blofield.
The figure of 50 - 60 can be made up of this site (30) and 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.
With any development in Lingwood, Blofield Road will need to be made wider instead of narrow with passing places. Increased housing of 50 - 60 on top of our 44 commitment will be too much for the School to take.
