I don't believe this development will stop us from losing a retail business from the street that gives vitality to the area. A professional services firm, if that were to occupy the retail part shown in the plans does not fulfill that...and I call upon the Council to uphold their promises to maintain the integrity of the local area.

It'd be a shame for the street to turn into a sleeping street. The local businesses are important to the area, and are vital to the fabric of the community in which we live and care for.

I visited Globe Road and its wonderful local businesses all the way from Cumbria and was delighted by vibrancy and individuality. Please keep it that way!

We are a knitting shop specialising in UK based yarns. We rely on customers traveling long distances, as we are a specialized craft resource. It is therefore of upmost importance to us that there is a lively community to welcome our customers. The Thai Garden restaurant was used often by our customers, as is the Larder Cafe. We are developing good relations with the Sweet tea house who will open soon, and our neighbours at 258 bring many artists to the area for their workshops. We need our neighbours openness in order to survive

Another lost retail/restaurant front in this part of lobe road would severely impair the feel of the street and be a wasted opportunity to the local commie into, who rely on these local shops to enhance their daily life.

changing this to semi residential would seriously undermine the viability of the current restaurant. I strongly object to B1 use as the vitality of the neighbourhood will only be protected by retail usage. This is a perfect restaurant venue for somebody to take on.

Keep Globe Road local and support local business.

Listen to local people. That's what Planning Departments are supposed to do. There are viable alternatives that benefit the community.
