24^th June 2024:

I am writing to request that if officers recommend to grant this application that it comes to committee for a decision.

The MRPs are:

• Overlooking/loss of privacy

• Loss of light or overshadowing

• No affordable housing contrary to CPP2

I find it quite peculiar that the viability assessment posted online to accompany this application has the word draft on many of the pages. Regardless this assessment concludes that:

"The development is not financially viable” and that "The 100% private tenure housing generates a small deficit of -£293,993 whilst the (affordable housing) policy compliant scheme, of 2 units, also provides a larger deficit of -£436,875”.

I hope that the planning department will save the developer from a costly mistake by refusing this application.
