Concerns about impact on landscape, loss of Green Belt land, potential impacts on residential amenity, ability of the site to connect into the Parish Council’s new pedestrian/cycle based ‘green ring’ and new development proposed within the emerging local plan.

THE SOLUTION
We know we are not going to be able to please everyone here, and we understand that it’s hard to lose a view and change can be unwelcome.
• We have massively lowered the height of all proposed new buildings on site, to minimise the impact on neighbouring properties and the immediate and wider landscape.
• We have designed a scheme that will not over-look neighbours, and has new vegetation all round it to mitigate the impact, as well as flowers and water features for beauty and for wildlife. • We feel strongly that the benefits this scheme can bring outweigh any harm to the Green Belt. • We will incorporate the Parish Council’s ‘green ring’, connecting all parts of the parish by a walking/cycling route, in our scheme.
VIEWS CUT THROUGH THE SITE
The above sections demonstrate how our proposed buildings predominantly do not exceed the height of the existing properties along Ilfracombe Avenue.
