Construction of 11 no. dwellings with access road. 

 

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking, Mr R. Fowler spoke in objection to the application. 

 

The local member, Councillor H. Bramer, said that there had been significant local concern about the application, based on the fact that the proposed access to the site was onto a busy highway, and might present a traffic hazard.  Some members felt that the proposed density of the dwellings was not in keeping with the area, and that the application would be detrimental to the amenity of the neighbouring properties.  

 

The Sub-Committee acknowledged that the application was in accordance with the relevant planning policies, from the point of parking, access and density, and agreed that it should be approved.
