Residents petitioned the council in a planning meeting Wednesday July 12, to refuse the application, over concerns the redesigned development for six homes next to Little Meadow would have negative ecological, traffic congestion, heritage and character impacts to the area.
They noted the planning inspector had previously refused a development on the site for 73 homes, mainly on the basis it would negatively affect the character of the area – as well as comments about harmful ecological impact.

Developers contended the inspectorate had found development would not adversely impact the area, and that it would contribute positively to Yapton’s environment with proposed landscaping accompanying the development, and to general housing needs.
