Other information: Responses to matters raised at our public consultation:

How is the loss of garages and parking being addressed?

We will provide residents who currently use a garage for their car with another garage at a nearby location.

What is being done about overlooking issues from loft room windows?

The new homes are designed to be orientated so that direct overlooking from habitable rooms to the outdoor spaces and habitable rooms of neighbouring properties is avoided. The distance from the top ﬂoor dormer windows to the nearest properties to the north is well in excess of 20m.

Will these homes cause a loss of sunlight?

A daylight impact assessment is being carried out for the development as requested by planning oﬃcers. This is expected to demonstrate that any reduction in light will to existing neighbours will be negligible.

How will boundary fences and walls be implemented?

The will be a condition of any planning permission that will require details of all boundary treatments to be submitted and approved by the council.

What will be done to minimise dirt,dust, heavy traﬃc, noise and damage to grass and pavements during construction?

There will be a condition of any planning permission that a Construction Management Plan or similar will need to be submitted and approved by the council prior to any construction works taking place. This will detail how the contractor will control their operations during the construction period. The council will also dictate the hours and days of the week when work can be carried out. Ultimately, the construction period is ﬁnite and any disruption or inconvenience will be kept to a minimum.

Will this development cause congestion on surrounding roads?

A Transport Technical Note has been produced to accompany the planning application. It concludes that the proposals should not result in any detrimental impacts in transport terms.
