A bungalow could be knocked down and replaced with nine new houses close to the High Heavens recycling site, if new plans are given the green light.

Nicholas King Homes wants to bulldoze the bungalow called Revola on Clay Lane, Booker, which is right next to the access road for the tip.

Their previous plans for the site were refused in June last year for being “out of keeping” with the area, with the council claiming they had not shown how trees would be protected.

Now, they say they have taken into consideration the first refusal and have come back with fresh plans.

They want to build seven three-bed houses and two four-bed homes and have come up with a new “courtyard” layout that would make it look like there is only one house on the site from Clay Lane.

The shifted layout also adds greater protection to the trees on the site.

All of the houses would have allocated car parking spaces and Nicholas King Homes say they will enhance the existing footpath to improve accessibility.

The developers say the homes have been “carefully arranged” to protect the neighbours already living close to the bungalow.

According to the plans, the extra homes on the site will create around 64 traffic movements on Clay Lane every day, with eight movements in each peak period – which highways experts say will not have a “severe impact”.
