Objection Letter

Letter of objection written on behalf of a group of local residents against the erection of “33 No. dwellings, with associated parking and landscaping following demolition of existing buildings” Objections included the overall scale and density of development proposed, impact on amenity in terms of loss of privacy, overlooking, loss of outlook and harm to visual amenity due to the increase in bulk, massing, location of the proposed housing, parking, increase in traffic, impact on trees and other issues related to the impact on the adjoining listed building.   The Council agreed with our letter of objection and refused the application on 8 grounds.

I have drafted an objection letter against a development refused by Islington Council which had been appealed. The proposal is a bulky and unneighbourly 2 storey rear extension on a terraced house, a grade II listed building in a Conservation Area.

The Appeal has subsequently been dismissed.

Wrote a letter of objection for a couple who were concerned about the impact of a large extension to their neighbour’s property. I advised about requesting that the application should be determined by the Planning Committee and further advised on the speech to be made to the Committee. Application refused contrary to planning officer’s recommendation.
