COMMENT

The views of Lingwood and Burlingham Parish Council have already been expressed. Our preferred site remains as GNLP0380 (approx 30 dwellings) along with the brownfield site of the old school on Chapel Road (approx 20-25 dwellings). We would expect no new building anywhere in the village until after the Chapel Road site is developed.

Re GNLP0379 – Following Representation ID 20900 (NPS Property Consultants Ltd), I fully appreciate no-one is entitled to a particular view in planning Law, but it is essential the view of the church is kept open to the village for all time. The church is already divorced from the village physically, and to allow any building to obstruct this view from the Millennium Green and its surrounds would have the effect of further isolating the community from its spiritual heart. What is more important to planners, developers and Norfolk County Council - maximising building space to make as much money as possible, or supporting the long-term aesthetic, emotional and spiritual welfare of a whole community?
