Have you considered the gross invasion of privacy for the residents of Burns Drive with regards to the proximity of the properties to the existing private properties?

Hi Mrs Blakley
As may you know we have now received planning consent for this development.
The house that, I think, you refer to was moved on the plan at the behest of the planners. Whilst it is at 45 degrees to minimise overlooking, the architect will consider the options for adjustments as he develops the scheme further.
I hope that this is of some reassurance.
