Comment Reasons:

- Adversely affects Conservation Area

- Inappropriate Height of Development

- Overdevelopment

- Poor design

- Residential Amenity

- Restriction of view

- Too close to the boundary

Comment: I am very concerned about this proposed development. The proposed wall will be

considerably higher than a neighbouring resident's garden wall (in Tivoli Crescent) and this will be overbearing and block light. The resident has informed me that the lack of light and the overbearing nature of the proposed wall would cause them considerable distress and the lack of sunlight in early mornings will impact on their quality of life.

I also believe that the proposed development will not provide a high standard of accommodation, this will be a very constrained living area with a tiny courtyard, so small in size that it is effectively meaningless as an outside space. I cannot see this proposed development enhancing the local area in any way and appears to be an attempt to create a letting opportunity that might benefit the developer but will seriously and negatively impact local residents and will also provide poor accommodation that barley meats minimum standards, for the person letting the property.

I would ask that this application is turned down and I am happy to make a representation at

planning committee to confirm this.
