Representation Summary:

The visual effect of this site should not be underestimated. For Bunwell, it is a significant development when entering the village.
A previous site planning application (2020/1464) was for six large 4/5 bed detached houses. The rear site boundary then was an extension of the adjacent site (2019/1542), which coincides with the Settlement Limit. The rear boundary of BUN 1 has now been further extended back well beyond the settlement limit, increasing the adverse visual appearance as you enter the village and use the footpath FP4.
Opposite this site are the low level Greenways bungalows.

Change suggested by respondent:

The rear boundary line of the site should be moved towards the road and coincide with the settlement Limit of the directly adjacent development, currently in the final stages of construction. This will mitigate the side-on view of the housing estate which is not in keeping with the linear form of adjacent houses and the current pleasing open countryside break.
