BH2026/00064 – 165 Hollingdean Terrace

15^th May 2026:

I would like to object to this planning application BhH2026/00064 and ask that this comes to committee. I have visited this garden of 165 Hollingdean Terrace and feel that this proposed development will be over development as it will take away half garden to 165 and cause upset to the tenants living there who have children. The tree is also liked as it provides shade for the children to play. Also, when I was there, lots of birds were flying in and out of the branches and they often nest

there. Birds also nest in the bushes at the bottom of the garden. The gardens of next door on Harrington and Quarry bank will lose the light to their garden and be overlooked by the proposed building which will he more detrimental than the lovely tree at the moment. The plans show that they intend to put an entrance into the alley which is used by the residents in Quarry bank. I would like to know if the deeds of the houses in Quarry bank allow this. There is also the substation to consider, and I feel this whole plan feels that the development is being squashed in and take up all available land with the tiniest of garden space and no thought to the redid dents surrounding the area. I would like an ecologist to check that there are no foxes living in the vacant piece of land as it has been empty for many years and is probably full of wildlife.

Please see photos of the area and the space in quarry bank as they also suffer from parking problems and the local environmental services already have problems servicing the road. I hope that planning committee members have a site visit here so they can see this for themselves.
