“This would give new buildings in which the skyline should remain open”
Plans for the construction of 65 houses in green fields with a view of exeter have arranged objections from locals who say that part of the city's skyline is changed forever.
The developer Waddeton Park wants to build “high -quality” houses on Exeter's Green Circle Walk on the Nadder Park Road.
On a website dedicated to development, it says that the project will have “well -designed contemporary apartments”, which also recognizes the importance of the location of the location.
If it is passed by planners, distant and half -roofing houses are combined with small terraces and “barns”.
A planning application was just submitted to the city council.
The website continues: “A main goal of the overall design is to mix developed areas with the surrounding landscape – and to determine a sensitive transition between the built form and the environment.”
The location is located near the barley nature reserve area and the developer plans an area for biodiversity and the improvement of the habitat in areas compared to the new houses.
But people nearby have already submitted objections to the plan.
All public comments that have so far been uploaded to the council's planning portal are objections.
A refusal writes: “One of the greatest assets from Exeter is his backdrop – the hills, Ridgelines and Green Rooms in the city. They give exeters its character and identity. The exeter plan is clear that we should avoid the Sped and the open skylines to break the Ridgelines and to keep the development far below the natural skyline.
“This proposal would break through this rule. It would be new buildings in which the skyline should remain open.”
Another says: “The proposed location is a high -towering development with a 300 foot above sea level, which overshadows all other surrounding residences.”
Other refusers quote bad transport connections and the lack of local business.
