OBJECTION TO PROPOSED CONCEPT OF SITE 4.3 HENRY GILES HOUSERE: MITCHAMS CORNER DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK.

Dear Sir/Madam
I wish to make an objection to the proposed development works mentioned in the above heading, my objections are based on the following.
1. Protruded positioning of the new development. We do not get much light in the rear garden as it is and your proposal would stop us from any light.
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 is 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.
4. Access to the lane behind nos. 81 to 93. This is highly used by residents and we 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 parking space behind our house and also bin collections are made by the council so access is needed down the lane. Your plan includes the rear access lane within your site boundary when this is land occupied by the owners of 81 to 93 Chesterton Road such that we have ownership and it also provides vehicle access to the rear of the properties - it cannot be developed.
5. As access is required to our lane and our parking space 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.
