A report on the housing development said: “The scheme protects the amenities of neighbouring properties, addresses the need to provide safe access and improves the functioning of a nearby junction, includes measures to encourage the use of public transport and provides for biodiversity.

“It would also provide highly energy efficient homes, a degree of affordable housing and a proportion of accessible and adaptable homes.”
