I own and live in properties on Chesterton road. I want to comment on the Henry Giles House area, in particular the lane behind 81 to 93 Chesterton Rd (Spring Terrace). I note that it is proposed to build houses on the north west side of the wall separating the present car park and our lane. It is not clear that account has been taken of the fact that there is a 2 metre drop from the car park to the lane. Apart from the issue of stability, the residents would be closely overlooked by the equivalent of a 3 story house at an angle of about 40 degrees. In addition, over the years residents have planted a number of trees, now mature. Unless there are felled (to which residents would object) they would form an obstruction to the houses and would grade the environment
