Erection of six dwellings.

Erection of six dwellings.

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking, Mrs Savage spoke in objection to the application.

Councillor PD Price, the Local Ward Member, noted that a number of the original objections had now been overcome with the revised plans. He felt that this was reflected in the Parish Council’s support of the scheme. He voiced concerns over the access and felt that this may be compromised by the addition of another dwelling.

In response to the points raised by the Local Ward Member, the Principal Planning Officer advised members that the Highways Agency were happy with the revised access and felt that the proposed parking layout was also acceptable. He also noted that the access would be finalised on completion of plot 16.
