Private individuals (objectors) have submitted objections to the minor changes application 20/00151/MCH, raising concerns about discrepancies in drawings, building size, height, overlooking, and impacts on neighbours compared to the original approval PA 16/00681/B.

ObjectionThe minor amendments application is extremely concerning, there appear to be discrepancies between the application drawings and the approved drawings; The new building projects approximately 450mm past the rear wall of the neighbouring property; we have decided that the objection I submitted to planning application 20/00151/MCH should be retained; works on the site should be halted until all of these matters are resolved
Conditions requested: halt works on site until all matters resolved; review site plans against approved PA 16/00681/B and confirm they are unaltered
Local resident (objector via Steve Butler)
ObjectionThe drawings submitted do not appear to correlate with the approved drawings; The building appears to extend approx. 450mm further back than the neighbouring building; The height of the new building appears to cause serious overlooking to the rear of Victoria Road properties
