Petition against planning application for 15 Gaiafields (17/01629/FUL) - received 14 December 2017

A petition to request the council refuse the planning application for 15 Gaiafields Lane (17/01629/FUL) on the basis that:

  • the proposed development represents a significant over-development of the site and will create terracing which will be detrimental to the street scene and in conflict with the council's SPD for sustainable development
  • the proposal to build a full 2-storey property is incongruent with the row of bungalow/dormer bungalows within which it sits
  • the parking facilities are insufficient for the size of the property and will create a highways issues
  • the proposed electric gates will not allow full exiting from the highway to those vehicles accessing the property and cause highways congestion
  • the development poses a real safety issue to the TPO tree situated on the adjacent property
  • the construction of the outbuilding with full kitchen and bathroom facilities will in real terms represent a separate dwelling and cause a nuisance to the adjacent properties in Gaiafields Crescent and sets a dangerous precedent in terms of development and loss of rear amenity spaces, again in conflict with our SPD.

The petition was signed by 35 local residents and will be considered as part of the planning process for the application.
