Broadland Archaeology was commissioned by Glenn Payne of ig9 on behalf Repton Property Developments (‘the client’) to provide this Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) and provide fee costs for undertaking an appropriate programme of archaeological works to fulfil the requirements of a NCCES Brief For Informative Trial Trenching As Part Of A Programme Of Archaeological Mitigatory Work (PoAMW)1. The Brief sets out minimum standard requirements for the programme of archaeological informative trial trenching to assess the potential archaeological resource of the site and the likely impacts of development on that resource. 2 A stage-programme of archaeological works will be required to inform mitigation and remediation decisions regarding future of the site. The archaeological works outlined in this WSI will form the first phase of a programme of archaeological Mitigatory works ahead of proposals for the erection of up to ten residential dwelling (‘the site’) at Former Lingwood First School site, Chapel Road, Lingwood, Norfolk (TG 3594, 0819). A contingency for an added 40.00m of linear trenching has been made should clarification about the extent or significance of any heritage assets encountered be required. Figure 1, showing proposed development area (red) including proposed informative trenches (black), road and driveway outlines (green) and existing buildings (hatched magenta) 3 Recommendations for further archaeological Mitigation work (if required) will be made by NCCES and that any further Project Designs will be an addendum to this WSI. Any subsequent Projects Designs will be submitted to NCCES for approval (on behalf of the LPA) and to mitigate the impacts of the excavations necessary for the new development. 4 The existing access off Chapel Road will become the sole access.

Mature trees form the south and east fringes of the site, residential housing bound the north and Chapel Road lay to the west. 5 This WSI assumes that the (‘the client’) will highlight site constraints, mark out root protection areas and all vegetation will be removed from the site prior to the archaeological work and that safe and straightforward access will be available to parts of the site. 6 The recipients of this WSI will be Glenn Payne and Norfolk County Council Environment Service. The commissioning and funding of the project including the archaeological advisory and planning role of the NCCES will be acknowledge in any report or publication generated by this project. Any variations to the specification of this WSI shall be agreed with NCCES in writing prior to them being carried out. Historical Background 7 In order to characterise the likely archaeological potential of the site, only a brisk summary of the archaeological background is given through entries of Heritage Gateway (www.heritagegateway.org.uk) and the most relevant entries to the site are discussed below. 8 The full NHER record data will be purchased from Norfolk County Council Environment Service for commercial re-use under the License for re-use of Historic Environment Record information. The NHER search area will cover a radius of 500m around the site centred on TG 3594, 0819 and will form part of the client report presenting the results of the trenching. The site is in an area of archaeological potential and is represented by Prehistoric, medieval and post-medieval activities. 9 The National Mapping Programme (NMP) in 2007, by use of aerial photographs identified and recorded three sites (NHER 49610, 49611 and 49612) with cropmarks of multi-period boundaries of an unknown date. 10 Site NHER 49610: lay to the southeast of the proposed development and consists of cropmarks of multi-period field boundaries and trackways south of Norwich Road, Lingwood. The boundaries consist of fragmentary ditches and double ditches likely to be former field boundaries of various dates. Two sites (NHER 33128 and 39732) in this area have recorded predominately medieval finds, however, a medieval date is unlikely to be contemporaneous with the cropmarks. 11 Site NHER 49611: lay to the east of the proposed development site and consisted of multi period field boundaries that are likely to be Iron Age or Roman in date. The aerial photographs cover an area east of Lingwood village and consist of a dispersed group of fragmentary ditches likely to represent former field boundaries. Four sites within the area (NHER 29176, 20247, 38153 and 39625) have recorded finds of Iron Age, Roman, Saxon 3 Former Lingwood First School site – Chapel Road – Lingwood – Norfolk – NR13 4PA A Programme Of Archaeological Mitigatory Work (to commence with Informative Trial Trenching) Draft WSI and medieval date.

    Investigation Report Into the Flooding in Broadland Various in 2013- 2016 Report Reference: FIR037 Report Prepared by Nathalie Harris and Published on 16 August 2019

    Investigation Report into the flooding in Broadland Various in 2013- 2016 Report Reference: FIR037 Report prepared by Nathalie Harris and Published on 16 August 2019 1 Executive Summary (a) Flooding incidents and causes This report includes the internal flooding of 36 properties and highway flooding of 3 roads over a series of dates ranging from 2013-2016. Principally those included in this report are individual properties located across Broadland District within the following parishes: • Acle • Beighton • Blofield • Buxton with Lammas • Foulsham • Great and Little Plumstead • Hellesdon • Horsford • Lingwood & Burlingham • Newton St Faith • Pettywell • Reepham • Salhouse • Strumpshaw • Wroxham Catchments: • Hellesdon • Lackford Run • Reepham Beck The flooding that occurred was caused by: • Drainage system overloaded • Increased run-off • Drainage system or outfall blockage, unmaintained or obstructed • Surface run-off from roads • Surcharging of the drainage system; Entry of flood water into property • Property(ies) had structural issues • Neighbouring property • Obstruction of surface run-off flow paths by structures • Obstruction of surface run-off flow paths by debris. This led to the internal flooding of 36 properties. (b) Key recommendations Risk Management Authorities should; • Communicate with affected residents where their assets have given rise to the flooding of properties. • Review the appropriateness of their response to flooding. 2 • Determine the integrity and/or capacity of their assets and their maintenance where they have contributed to the flooding of properties to understand the systems role in accommodating rainfall events as well as mitigating flooding. Property owners of affected properties should; • Confirm the integrity, capacity and appropriateness of their property drainage • Determine if works are needed to remove the risk posed by structures that form obstructions to flows.

The following table sets out the Examining Authority’s (ExA’s) written questions and requests for information - ExQ1. If necessary, the examination timetable enables the ExA to issue a further round of written questions in due course. If this is done, the further round of questions will be referred to as ExQ2. Questions are set out using an issues-based framework derived from the Initial Assessment of Principal Issues provided as Annex C to the Rule 6 letter of 27 April 2021. Questions have been added to the framework of issues set out there as they have arisen from representations and to address the assessment of the application against relevant policies. Column 2 of the table indicates which Interested Parties (IPs) and other persons each question is directed to. The ExA would be grateful if all persons named could answer all questions directed to them, providing a substantive response, or indicating that the question is not relevant to them for a reason. This does not prevent an answer being provided to a question by a person to whom it is not directed, should the question be relevant to their interests. Each question has a unique reference number which starts with 1 (indicating that it is from ExQ1) and then has an issue number and a question number. For example, the first question on general and cross-topic issues is identified as 1.1.1.

APPENDIX 2: LEGISLATION SUMMARY 16 SUMMARY Hopkins Ecology Ltd was appointed by Brown & Co on behalf of ESCO Developments to prepare a preliminary ecological appraisal of a parcel of Land Between Buckenham Lane and Buckenham Road, Lingwood. The Site comprises part of an arable field, currently under sugar beet, and is ~3.4ha in area. The nearest component site of The Broads SAC, Broadland SPA and Broadland Ramsar Site, Yare Broads and Marshes SSSI, is 1.9km distant and a second, Cantley Marshes SSSI, is at 2.6km. Within 2km there are five County Wildlife Sites. The Site comprises part of an arable field with verges of rank grass sward and ruderal vegetation. The eastern and western verges have young trees planted after the late 1980s. Habitats of Principal Importance are absent. Most protected species are scoped out, other than nesting birds. Other species of conservation concern that may be present are some widespread but declining species that would be present as minor components of larger local populations. The proposed scheme will mainly impact arable cropland with probably some removal of the rank swards on the east and west boundaries.

The school has spare capacity and is not landlocked. 6.2 It is considered that due to the high levels of existing commitment in Blofield parish as a whole approximately 12-20 new homes are appropriate for the Blofield Heath cluster. Services in the wider parish of Blofield include a primary school, village hall, food shop, public transport and a doctor’s surgery. 6.3 Blofield Heath is covered by the made Blofield Neighbourhood Plan which covers the same area as that of the Blofield parish boundary. The Plan was made in July 2016 and covers the period to 2036. It contains a series of policies that look to shape development within the neighbourhood area. There are policies within the plan that will be of relevance to development and any applications that are submitted for development within the parish should have due regard to those policies.

    Blofield to North Burlingham

    A47 Dualling – Blofield to North Burlingham On behalf of Lingwood and Burlingham Parish Council. Response to Highways England's Deadline Submission 2 - WCHR Assessment and Review Revised July2021. TR010040-000466/EXAM/9.8 It would appear Highways England has produced this document to serve its own purposes. The document includes erroneous statements and omits crucial information which would support our request for a WCHR underpass beneath the A47 and a path to Acle. (Provisions of GG142, Design Manual for Roads and Bridges, acknowledged.) It seems Highways England still refuses to acknowledge that the settlements at Lingwood, South Burlingham, North Burlingham and Burlingham Green are one community. Together, we are the Parish of Lingwood and Burlingham which straddles the part of the A47 to be dualled. We all share the same identity and the same local facilities which, generally, are based in Lingwood and Acle, and not in Blofield. Our Parish Council is comprised of people from both north and south of the A47. All parish events are designed for the whole community. All that divides us is the A47! Clause 1.3 - WCHAR study area. (Assumed should read 'WCAHR'.) Clause 1.3.1 states, “............ The study area includes the A47, the villages of Blofield, North Burlingham, Lingwood and the small market town of Acle. …..... Why, then, has Highways England ignored essential amenities in Lingwood and Acle? Clause 1.3.1, Fig 1-1 This defines the 5km area around the scheme and highlights the 'proposed route' of the A47 between Blofield and Acle. It shows the Parish of Lingwood and Burlingham sitting astride the A47 mid-way between the villages of Blofield and Acle.
