1 The design is out of keeping with all the other houses in Hyde Green and is inappropriate for this location in size, scale and design;

Hyde Lane

Demolition of existing detached house and erection of 3 no. detached five bedroomed houses and garages

03/07/06

We object to this application on the following grounds:
1 These five-bedroom houses are out of keeping with the locality;
2 The size and scale of the buildings creates the impression of a cramped site, although different planning and design might have alleviated this apparent problem;
3 The number of vehicles will increase traffic movements considerably in Hyde Lane and Cherry Garden Lane;
4 The effect of these buildings will be to change rural country housing into an urban style development.

1 Despite the reduction in size from the earlier application (05/00847/FUL) which was withdrawn, we are still concerned at the overall size of the building which seems excessive for a non-commercial use;
2 Please ensure that a condition is imposed that the building is for private use only.

Brook Bros

Twitty Fee

Proposed timber storage building

20/03/06

The application is ambiguous. Is the proposed building to be used for machining and storage or for storage alone? If the former, adequate and appropriate noise reduction should be installed. In both cases we are concerned at the gradually increasing capacity of the site and the impact this will have on traffic movements on this narrow rural lane.
