Representation Summary:

Though we agree with the village being expanded this particular piece of land is not suitable for 20 houses.
As it has been left to grow wild it inhabits lots of wild animals including bats.
Plus the effect the 20 houses will have on the villages already struggling drainage etc is likely to cause even more issues.
Plus I feel it is unfair for 20 houses to be put behind bungalows as this will devalue their homes and are not like for like. The village neighbourhood plan strives to keep the village like for like and this should be considered.

Change suggested by respondent:

I think the type of houses and volume of houses need to be carefully considered.
All the homes these properties will back onto are bungalows.
My business is in a cabin at the bottom of my garden. As it is a massage business clients need to feel safe calm and private, not over looked. It’s one of the things my clients come for.
If bungalows were to be put on the land and less of them then our objection to the proposed plans would be less.
No where else in the village is over looked both front and back of their homes. It’s part of Tivetshalls charm and why many have moved here and want to move here.
