Summary
The proposal is to build three new homes arranged as a terrace, each three storeys tall. The development would include parking spaces and landscaping on land that is currently unbuilt. Newall Green High School is right next door — the school grounds begin immediately beside the site, with the school building itself about a couple of minutes' walk away. Wythenshawe Hospital is about a 1-minute walk from the site boundary. Around 79 properties are within 200 metres. During construction, there could be noise and vehicle movements close to both the school and the hospital. Once built, the three-storey height may be taller than some neighbouring homes and could affect light or privacy for the closest properties on Capenhurst Close.
