Objectives should include further guarantees of protection for visual amenity and character.
There is no objective indicating that adverse visual impact or character impact from the sites development on the adjacent TWO conservation areas ( since also across the railway is another ) and the 1930s suburban streets will be prevented. Furthermore the site presents strong potential framing views against the skyline e.g. from Fairfax Road or Sleaford Street, and there are important views from passing trains into the conservation area. We suggest that there should be an objective that :"Development should be of a scale, character and form that prevents adverse impact on the character of and views from surrounding properties, in particular framing views between buildings and at street ends"
