A mix of terraced, semi-detached and detached homes are proposed on the site currently occupied by the bungalow and its garden, which measures around half a hectare.
The development would be made up of six two-bedroom, six three-bedroom and two five-bedroom homes.
Each would have private gardens, parking spaces, garages and cycle stores.
They would each feature an open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen area with downstairs toilets and utility rooms on the ground floor of the larger homes.
Access to 10 of the homes would come through one which serves the existing garden in the south-east corner of the site, which would be upgraded as part of the development.
The other four homes would be accessed by a private driveway at the north-east of the site.
