Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

This site is not the preferred site. Views of the medieval church will be compromised if the whole width of the site is used. This is Grade 1 agricultural land so it would be preferable to use a smaller area to the right for building, as per the original plan, and parkland to the left of the site. The widening of Post Office Road would take away the natural traffic calming effect it has at present, we can’t have traffic calming measures put in as we are a dark village. Flooding, drains, sewers are already an issue in the area.
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.
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.

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.

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).

GNLP0499 - Lingwood & Burlingham Parish Council object to this site as it is too far outside the Parish Boundary.

GNLP0067 - The original application was not approved by Lingwood & Burlingham Parish Council or residents but was given on appeal to the Secretary of state. To extend the area with more Live Work Units would definitely not be acceptable.

Just to clarify; the preferred site of Lingwood & Burlingham Parish Council for development is GNLP0380. This site (GNLP 0379) if developed should also allow for an avenue of trees from the Millennium Green on Post Office Road to the Church and an area of parkland to protect the Church not just a block of land at the front or back.
