Lighting strategy submitted for Parcel 5 at Great Totham development

Summary

The applicant has submitted a lighting strategy for Parcel 5. It seeks to meet a condition attached to an earlier permission for a large mixed-use development.

The wider scheme could include up to 1,138 homes, a 120-bed care home, shops, community spaces and a primary school. It also includes a relief road between Broad Street Green Road and Langford Road.

The council is considering the lighting details for this parcel, rather than the main scheme again. The type, position and hours of lighting could affect nearby homes and road users.
