Objection – The dwellings in the detailed application are houses and the council feels that their height impacts on the size of the dwellings giving the impression that the mas of the buildings would be intrusive in the landscape. Indications on the outline plan were that the dwellings would be one and a half stories (dormer bungalows) and it is felt that by reducing the height of the dwellings they would sit better in the landscape and reduce the overbearing appearance of the properties on the site and with the surrounding properties.
