RESIDENTS IN CURZON AVENUE AND WARWICK ROAD in Cleethorpes have approached Shona to express their opposition to a proposed development of 40 houses at Hampton Court.

Commenting on the plans, Shona said:

'I've studied the application in detail and share the concerns about this development.  

'It's a small site totally enclosed by Curzon Avenue, Warwick Road and Curzon Court. I believe that the number of homes is too dense for the site. Previous proposals for the site, some years ago, involved 25 bungalows, not 40 homes.

'Also the style of properties - mainly two-storey - is out of keeping with the existing homes in the area, particularly the bungalows in Curzon Avenue.

'There will be loss of privacy and light due to the proximity with existing properties.'

Shona has been consulting residents about the plans and will present her findings to the council.

Continuing, Shona said:

'Given the density of this development, I feel that there could be potential problems with the sewage and drainage system, There has been flooding in the past in the neighbourhood.

'People have expressed concerns about the increase in traffic in a quiet residential neighbourhood with a sizable number of elderly residents. It's also feared that there will be increased parking on Curzon Avenue because there are too few parking places in the plans for the density of housing proposed.

'I hope that planners and councillors reject these plans.'
