Planning chiefs have given the go-ahead for two new homes to be built on land in Lichfield.

The development will see a three bedroom and a four bedroom property constructed behind properties on Ivanhoe Road.

Access to the homes will be via Masefield Close.

A planning statement said:

> “The proposal for two additional dwellings sited to the rear of the existing dwellings, fronting the established frontage of Masefield Close creates a development of a design and arrangement of a more sustainable and efficient use of the site in compliance with sustainable polices.”

Despite the approval, objections had been raised and a petition submitted over concerns of loss of privacy for nearby homes and increased parking and congestion issues.

One resident of Ivanhoe Road said:

> “I feel this will negatively affect the conditions of ours and others gardens on the street.  
>  
> “Not only will these buildings block light but also make the garden more overlooked in the process I believe that this will produce potential mental health issues.  
>  
> “On top of this the building works are very close to our gardens and I worry that this will negatively affect any time spent in the outside space during the summer and warmer months over the next couple of years.  
>  
> “But planning chiefs have given the development the go-ahead.
