He told officers in a planning statement that the proposals would create “an attractive, high quality built form and by providing features which create a sense of place”.

He added it would also allow for walking and cycling routes.

The houses will be a mix of two-three bedroomed properties including bungalows, houses and flats.

The plans include six houses classed as “affordable”.

Recommending approval, NKDC’s officers said: “It is not considered that the proposed scheme would give rise to any undue impact upon the residential amenity of either existing properties or for the proposed new dwellings.

“The proposed dwellings all have large rear gardens which would allow for sufficient separation distance between the proposed dwellings.”
