The applicant, Aubrey P King, said in the application to the council that the proposal seeks to make better use of the land.

The new homes would improve the appearance of the site, would not have an adverse impact on homes which are either side of the property. The houses would not be within a flood area or cause flooding elsewhere.

The current property on the site is a two storey house with an integral garage and parking for at least three vehicles.

At the back of the house there is currently a small shed and at the bottom of the garden some trees: the trees are distant from the existing and the proposed buildings and would not be affected.
