In March the original plans were refused by the planning committee in March because of the distribution of the ‘affordable’ housing on the site. The resubmitted plans have addressed this issue and changed the layout of the homes.

Also in the original plans concerns were expressed by residents living near the site about the house types and the proximity of them to existing homes.

Although this was not a reason made for refusal on the council’s part, the developer has altered the plans where the site adjoins existing homes in Curlieu Close.

Previously, there were plans for seven properties along the boundary consisted made of four two-storey and three single-storey properties. But in response to the concerns the section now has one less unit made up of just two two-storey units in the far corner of the site, which adjoins the playing field to the west, while the remaining four units are all single storey.

Prior to going before the planning committee there were around 40 objections on the planning portal. This included objections from Budbrooke Parish Council and concerns from residents echoed by MP Matt Western.
