And ward councillors and MP Robert Buckland are not impressed.
Hills already has outline permission to build 104 houses on a site behind Woodland View in the village. At the end of 2020 the waste management company was given the go-ahead for the layout of the estate, which would see the houses arranged to the east and south of the rectangular plot, with a cricket pitch and pavilion in the centre.
Now the company has put in details of the landscaping and appearance of the development.
Its application to planners says the development of 74 houses for sale and 30 affordable rented homes "seeks to promote character and quality in design with 13 different house types along with an apartment building and cricket pavilion. The house types have been designed with sensitivity to the site constraints and all exhibit a contemporary aesthetic.”
