Inaccurate to describe the site as being to the west of eel catcher close. The site is enclosing eel catcher close on all sides, creating a block of buildings to make only street with no open access to fields at the rear . The site is far too large. THe guidelines state that one hectare is the average and best size for a cluster and this is far bigger. We have already had a new development of 30 houses in the last two years and plans have been rejected behind eel catcher close twice.
The site outline states there is a precedent as eel catcher close was built here. But this was a special development for social housing. No other housing has been allowed here and we were promised that no further developments would take place. The best way forward would be to place six or so houses sideways on to the road that run southwards, so dimiishing the visual impact and not enclosing houses in the close.
