Statement) is missing from the documents. There
is no mention of the materials to be used, Therefore Council will have to
depend on the Conservation Officers consideration to aesthetics. Council
has a concern over safe access onto Common Way with parked vehicles opposite
the location. H21-1136-23
Mr S Necker, Land North of 29 Station Rd, Tydd Gote Proposed holiday
lodges and yoga building Council
strongly objects to this application on the following grounds: The
development is outside of the settlement boundary. The
access to the area is insufficient for two-way traffic and is of a road with
major safety issues, Station Road has traffic issues and to increase this
load is unacceptable. There
is no pedestrian access provided. The
applicant has not included opening hours on the application, as this site
boarders’ dwellings and has its access exceedingly close to existing
dwellings this will cause noise and light pollution to the existing
residents. The
Village has no infrastructure to support such a development. The
development will change the visual characteristics of the Village. In
addition, Council have concerns over the access road accommodating emergency
vehicles and waste lorry. Council requests if this is recommended for
approval that it goes to committee. Approvals
