Application Notes:
The Town Council raised concerns on this outline application. The site appears to be getting bigger and potential traffic issues for local residents is still a major concern. The proposed site is near several Bio-Diversity sites and there were concerns expressed that this development would adversely affect them. There is a proposed Beaver Project in the Old River bed opposite the proposed site and Members want to know if this would be affected by this development. Another concern was the potential view of the proposed development for residents in the location. Members agreed to defer their decision on this application until there have been more comments received from other consultees that have been approached for comment. Following a re-consultation on 1 February 2022, The Town Council object to this application on following the grounds: • Overshadowing/loss of outlook to the detriment of residential amenity • Highway issues: traffic generation, vehicular access, highway safety • Adverse impact on nature conservation interests & biodiversity opportunities
