BH2025/00019 – 267 Old Shoreham Road

4^th March 2026:

I would like to object to the above planning application due to the following reasons;

- It's proximity to Schools and the effects to the health of children and young adults from the easy access to the menu offered in Macdonald.

- Research shows that areas of low economic income are more prone to fast and junk food which is detrimental to their health at the cost of the NHS which is already struggling. Hangleton and Knoll is the third most deprived areas in our vicinity so this risk will be increased with a Macdonald at their

- doorstep, so to speak.

- Increased traffic on road which has several junctions within 1 min or less drive can be very challenging especially since these routes are used for I good number of student walking to and from school and visiting the nearby Co-op Store.

- The suggested long hours of operation into late night through to early morning will cause community issues like complaints due to noise, light and traffic pollution.

- The plan was presented with very little notice or consultation and there seems to be a lot of questions unanswered or unsatisfactorily answered with regards to mitigations and assessments.
