DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED - Application for Permission in Principle for residential development
LOCATION: - Proposed Residential Development Land East Of Holmleigh, Bridgnorth Road, Highley, Shropshire, .
The proposed development does not sit comfortably within the surrounding area and would place new housing within a very limited and constrained space. This raises concerns about the potential loss of privacy for neighbouring properties, as the layout appears likely to create overlooking and reduce existing residential amenity.
The restricted size and shape of the plot also mean that garden amenity space would be minimal, raising questions about whether the site can provide an appropriate living environment for future occupants.
There are additional practical issues relating to household refuse collection and access for emergency vehicles. The space available for turning is extremely limited, increasing the likelihood that larger vehicles would be forced to reverse onto the main road, which presents a clear safety risk.
The development would also increase traffic movements at an access point where visibility onto the main road is already poor. Even a small number of additional vehicles would require careful assessment, and this is a matter that Highways would need to explore fully.
For these reasons, Highley Parish Council objects to the proposal.
