Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application

Comment Reasons:

- Residential Amenity

Comment: I am writing in my capacity as ward councillor for Brunswick and Adelaide. I wish this application to be heard by planning committee.

I recognise this is the second application on this site and a number of improvements have been made in response to concerns regarding the first application.

Residents have contacted me as they still have some concerns regarding this application and therefore I wish for it to be heard by planning committee.

I welcome the aims for sustainable transport usage, however I would like to see plans for how this will be encouraged. Zone M which this accommodation is within is an oversubscribed parking area and residents of Holland Road have contacted me on a number of occasions previous to outline their concerns regarding the number of spaces. Even a few additional cars in this location would

provide great frustration to residents. I would hope that the applicants would be able to provide by committee a sign on how they will encourage visitors using the hotel to use sustainable transport in line with their comments in the application that this will be the case.

I would also like to understand whether remarketing this as a language school at this time has been considered - given the previous marketing happened at a time of uncertainty for language schools.
