An outline application for two self-build homes on the site of Coronation Bungalow on Station Fields in Oakengates was submitted last month.

Now, despite several residents raising concerns over the impact the development would have on the narrow lane, the granting of planning permission is set to be recommended at a council meeting next week.

The proposal would see the bungalow and existing structures demolished and the two new buildings erected on site.

Seven neighbour representations were made objecting to the proposal with residents mainly raising concerns about the amount of traffic on the narrow, unadopted Station Fields road, which is - by most accounts - already in a poor state.
