1. Protruded positioning of the new development. The new development should not front any further than the existing building. Doing so as drawn, despite the reduction in height will overshadow our property and cut out well needed light to the rear/our garden. We currently have planning permission for an extension to our rear that will feature a roof terrace to enjoy views of Jesus Green and the lock/river. Any building further forward to the existing will negate all purpose of this extension.

2. Scale and height of the proposed. In Figure 15 building heights clearly show Henry Giles House as disproportionate. The proposed stories of 4 and 5+1 are grossly unsuitable. Spring Terrace is 2 + 1 stories and west of the site are 3+1 townhouses. Other than the main building at Henry Giles House the rest of the office site is only 2-3 stories maximum at present. The carpark area is also free from existing buildings.

3. Overlooking and height (again). No account has been taken for the elevation of the site from the road. The rear of Spring Terrace (nos. 81 to 93) is some meters higher than the road. From the rear of our garden to the lane behind is at least 1m. The land behind on the site is likely a further 2m. The proposed heights of the buildings will remove all light from our garden and new properties would notably overlook nos. 81 to 93.

4. Access to the lane behind nos. 81 to 93. This is from the road to the left of no. 81. This is highly used access. Residents have a right of way and long standing use of the access way to park - much required in an area with grossly inadequate residents parking. We have an outbuilding here with a garage door and require clearance for the garage door should we use this building as a garage again. We also have a side gate requiring access. Bin collections are made by the council right up to the rear and with access to the lane behind the terrace also.

5. The proposed pedestrian and cycle access from the new development through to Chesterton Road. We strongly object to this. As access is required to our lane and our garage it would be inappropriate for a cycle/pedestrian cut-through. It would also increase noise and disturbances to residents of the terrace, of which we have enough from the main road (Chesterton Road) presently. Refuse collections using this access way as well would suggest pedestrian and cycle traffic is inappropriate. A cut-through via the development should lead to Carlyle Road. This would not impact journey time and people will likely be wanting to cross the road at the pedestrian crossing at the bottom of Carlyle Road anyway.

We would strongly request that the residence of Spring Terrace (nos. 81 to 93 Chesterton Road) and residents of Albert Street be consulted further with regards to proposals for site 4.3 Henry Giles House as it will have significant impact on all of us.
