Hi Renata, if that is the case and the planning is approved in lieu of a committee hearing, that is disappointing. If residents feel strongly enough about the issue, and with your support, there is still some hope of the decision being over-turned. I do think this should have been given special consideration given this is happening at the entrance to a cul-de-sac and is an area dominated by families (Goodrich school was the most over subscribed intake int the borough for 2015/16). My fears are that increased pressure on the cul-de-sac will cause access issues (thinking refuse collection and emergency access as well as residents parking) which may overspill to congestion issues on Dunstans Road. Both problematic and potentially dangerous. Of course those in closest proximity are concerned about the sheer scale (compared to existing housing) and the usuaual negative impacts on light, noise and being overlooked... All very valid and distressing when it's your back garden or vicinity that faces the intrusion. There has been a strong response with short notice. I think most think notification was not fair or appropriate, meaning any opposition has been very rushed. Thank you for your support.
