Garff Commissioners

Resident at 57 All Saints Park
ObjectionThe application currently under review (21/01088/B) will have the effect of extending our neighbour’s property right up to the boundary with ours and within a few feet of the part of our building which is subject to the approved planning application.; obstructing the view from the windows also meaning that we will look out on to a neighbours brick wall which is not acceptable.; their proposed extension does this which is not really acceptable.; concerns around the removal of car parking.
