Representation Summary:

20 new homes is too many and will seriously impact on already low water pressure, which affects properties in The Street.
The increase in traffic entering and leaving the site would likely mean an increase of 40 vehicles. This increase in traffic would represent a danger to all road users, including residents accessing their properties who live on the blind bends along Rectory Road.
The new properties must reflect the character and form of neighbouring bungalows to protect the privacy of existing properties.
The site is not in keeping with the linear rural nature of existing properties.

Change suggested by respondent:

New properties should be bungalows and not overlook existing properties, with sufficient green space between new and existing properties to protect residential amenity. Reduce the number of properties.
Where the road width allows a footpath should be constructed between the site and the school.
Protection of the quiet and not overlooked Church Lane by planting of a hedgerow along the western boundary of the site.
Plans must ensure the design code and policies specified in The Tivetshalls Neighbourhood Plan are followed.
