In considering the application, Members expressed concerns about the potential impact of the two dwellings situated at the back of the site to properties on Hereward Way and Priory Close. The consensus of the majority of members was that steps should be taken to limit the height of properties situated in this area by adding a condition requiring those properties to be bungalows. Committee Members were advised that adding a condition restricting the height of prospective dwellings to an outline permission with all matters reserved could lead to that condition being appealed. Members were in agreement, however, that they wanted to add such a condition with the reason being to protect the residential amenity of properties to the rear of Hereward Way and Priory Close from overlooking and over-massing. It was proposed, seconded and agreed that the application be approved for the reasons set out in the case officer’s report and subject to conditions:
