A new application to demolish a house to make way for five new homes has received fresh backlash from folk living nearby.

A proposal to pull down the two-storey three-bedroom home in Highfield Avenue, Brundall - to make way for six three-bedroom bungalows - was turned down in July 2022.

The subsequent appeal was also dismissed in August this year.

However, Vello Ltd resubmitted plans to Broadland District Council on September 8, for the erection of "five single-storey dwellings with associated garages and construction of a vehicular access".

The news has drawn ire from councillors and neighbours living nearby after believing this saga was over.

Green Party district councillor, Eleanor Laming, opposes the new plans saying: "The size and number of properties and associated garages is overdevelopment of the site and contrary to the character and appearance of the area.

"This development does not meet the requirements of the Brundall Neighbourhood Plan and no affordable homes are proposed as part of it.

"It isn't sustainable to add any further dwellings.

"I do not support this application but should it go ahead, it should need to clearly show that there will be no adverse impacts on protected habitat sites and that biodiversity will be substantially enhanced."

If approved the bungalows would be built on 0.35 hectares, while adding in an additional 27 car parking and cycle spaces combined.

Judith Byrne, who lives in Highfield Avenue, added: "My main objection is related to the effects to road safety.

"The road here has two blind bends and there has already been one serious road accident in recent years, as well as many minor collisions and near misses.

"The additional traffic that the development will create further increases in the flow of cars that use our road as a cut-through."
