In the time that has elapsed since, only the access road to the site has been constructed – and now the plans have been overhauled to remove the flats and health facility.The space created by the change will be filled, in part, by an extra 28 bungalows – taking the total to 48 – and an increase in the size of the centrally-located care home, which will now contain 72 rooms.
The agent for the application, Deborah Smith, said demand for bungalows was only going to grow over the next 20 years as a result of longer life expectancy. Several committee members – while recognising the benefits of the scheme – expressed concern that the development was taking place in an area of open countryside.
Committee member John Potter said the new plans were “significantly better” than those originally on the table, when they could have been “significantly worse”. There will be an equal split between two and three-bedroomed bungalows on the site – 22 each – along with four one-bed properties.
