| Having read the comments relating to the proposal to build six homes suitable for OAPs in the combined back gardens of the Applicants, I must question the logic and suitability of this proposal as at all the meetings I attended, the focus was on the need to have homes suitable for younger families. Much was made of the Applicants' intentions to move into the new homes themselves, leaving their existing properties in Britten Close to be occupied by new families, but with an estimate of c£400,000 for each of the existing houses, they are hardly likely to be occupied by young families. In addition, I recall each home was to have space for two cars, a total of 12 across the development, and am surprised this was seen as not being an issue to the traffic in the Close. Nothing has been mentioned relating to the instances when there is a need for more than two spaces at a particular property, and the assumption is that the overflow vehicles will be parked on the roadside of the Close itself - an unacceptable proposition, which I suspect the majority of the residents of the Close will agree. |
