Plans to split a home's garden to build two new houses north of Ipswich have been rejected by planners.

Plans to build two homes in Whitton Leyer in Bramford were rejected by Mid Suffolk District Council last Wednesday following several objections.

The objections included numerous rejections from neighbours as well as Suffolk Highways and the environment health.

Planning documents state that the application site comprised part of the private residential garden of The Crest in Whitton Leyer which would see two single-storey homes built with associated works.

One neighbour commented: "Whitton Leyer is already a poorly maintained and highly used single track lane.

"Further traffic along this road, including construction traffic, will only increase damage to the road, peoples property and create even further levels of frustrating congestion/blocking."

Suffolk Highways recommended that permission was refused due to insufficient evidence to demonstrate that safe and suitable access can be achieved for all users.

Concerns over access for residents as well as emergency services were stated with issues over construction vehicles attending the site raised as well.

The plans were submitted at the end of January.
