PROPOSALS to complete a housing development have run foul of existing residents.
Developer Randall Orchard has put forward plans for the final stage in the Garden Village scheme in Richmond, a project first approved in 1985.
The proposals are for 12 houses in Atkinson Avenue - one detached, eight semi-detached and a terrace of three.
But residents fear the move may restrict the amount of space enjoyed by existing households and affect them getting cars out of their garages.
Andrew Hope, of Beechfield Drive, said some of the new homes would overlook existing houses and would be an invasion of privacy.
Michael Walden, director of the Garden Village Management Company, said a number of residents had raised concerns about the proposed width of the road, which could hinder drivers trying to reverse their cars.
A spokesman for Richmondshire District Council said they were discussing the possibility of reducing the height of the new homes with the developer.
