Kirtling is a linear village, meaning properties are situated adjacent to roads, rather than in back gardens via an access road.<\/li>\n<li>Will the design suggested fit in to the street scene of Kirtling? The development site is close to several listed buildings<\/li>\n<li>Is this over-development of the site, given the density of houses around the area?<\/li>\n<li>Is the design in keeping with the village?<\/li>\n<li>Concerns were raised about the ecology of the site which seems to have changed over the last year or so, with trees and hedgerows having recently been cut down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anyone wishing to comment on the application should do so by the <strong>12th July <\/strong>either by email to <strong><a href=\"mailto:plservices@eastcambs.gov.uk\"><a href=\"mailto:plservices@eastcambs.gov.uk\" >plservices@eastcambs.gov.uk<\/a><\/a><\/strong> or in writing to East Cambs DC stating the application number 17\/00986\/FUL.
