The petition is in the following terms in relation to the above planning application.

We would like to object for the following reasons:

§ Increased traffic generation on an already busy road. Up to 28 extra cars trying to enter and exit.

§ Over development of the site. From one dwelling to fourteen. A building significantly larger than the current house.

§ Increased noise.

§ Possible loss of privacy and overshadowing.

§ Increased refuse. 14 bins which will need collecting off a busy road.

§ The development is out of keeping with the area. The style is out of keeping with the predominantly family homes build on single plots.
