We’d like to thank the 230+ people who have, so far, objected to National Highways’ retrospective planning application to retain the unauthorised infill at St Andrew’s Lane bridge at Congham, Norfolk. This is a very substantial response and indicates the depth of feeling around the company’s abuse of emergency permitted development rights to put a viable structure with clear heritage value beyond future use.
Can we please urge those of you who have not yet done so to also submit objections? We’d like to send the strongest possible message to decision-makers that National Highways’ actions are unacceptable, socially damaging and undermine trust and confidence in public bodies.
You can OBJECT online via the local council’s planning portal using the following link. It only takes a couple of minutes…
Our website has a page of background information which you can use to help formulate your objection…

And we’d be very grateful if you’re able to donate to our appeal to fund legal help in support of our opposition to the planning application. We reached our initial target of £2,500 yesterday, but it would be useful to have a small contingency fund for other emerging requirements.
