PETITION TO: WANDSWORTH BOROUGH COUNCIL PLANNING & ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT

We the undersigned oppose strongly Viridian's plans for the proposed 4 storey, 45 flat development plus ancillary services on the Franciscan Professional Centre, Tooting and request Wandsworth Borough Council to refuse planning permission for this development for the following reasons:

-Too high & to dense for site and design not in keeping with existing buildings

-Negative impact on local residents who will lose both light & privacy

-Severely impact on children attending Toots Nursery

-Severely impact on playground space for children attending the new Tooting Primary School which will be located in the existing building on site

-Cause severe parking issues in the area

You can view the proposed development on the Wandsworth council website by searching on the planning page for the following reference: 2012/3870

November 9, 2012

The feedback from local residents regarding the proposed height and density of this development remains consistently concerned. I am currently compiling your comments to ensure the planning department understands the full extent of the impact on our schools and nurseries. Please continue to monitor the council website for any procedural updates.

I live right next to this and the light we get is bad enough as it is. A 4 storey building is going to leave us in darkness. Please stop this madness. SW17 8ED

The parking round here is already a nightmare. You cant even get a spot on your own street let alone with 45 new flats blocking everything up. SW17 8EB
