Final Phase development Ingress Park

The proposed development, including restaurants and shops, will hugely increase traffic to the already congested Ingress Park.

Great damage to the river bed and obstruction of view to houndreds of residents

Please don't make this development happen. It will block my view of the Thames and it's the whole reason why I bought my apartment! It will look so horrible and take away a beautiful view. Please don't let this happen for the sake of the residents of ingress park.

I whole heartedly reject these plans.

I do not agree with this proposed development.

I support this petition

This new design is not in keeping with the overall design of the ingress park site and blocks light and existing lines of site. The new design also predicts noise levels in excess of the 50 Db limit set by the EU, which cannot be considered acceptable for a residential development. The new design is contrary to the design upon which the existing flats were sold, which included open sections at least 12 meters across directed to line up with the original road layout and maintain line of sight and natural light. The new plans should be rejected with a smaller development pursued, more in-keeping with the layout and design of the rest of the Ingress Park. At least the middle block of housing should be removed in order to maintain the line of sight and natural light down each of the current roads. Additionally, a significant reduction in the number and density of dwellings is also necessary in order to reduce the unacceptable predicted noise levels and in order to bring the proposed development in to better accord with the character of the existing development.

Crest has submitted their application to Dartford for amendment and new planning permission objections till 11 August.

I am about to buy a property in Grove house, but will not be proceeding if this gives the go ahead, as the property will not be worth its current value

Hi Andries, does this mean there is no application for planning permission at all at the moment? Or does it mean that the original application is still in place. Sorry, i havent followed this for a while.

For attention to all concerned : 31 March 2016 At this time we have no new application, however, if/when an application is submitted, consultations will be undertaken. Please advise if you have any queries. Regards, Steve Bell Senior Planning Officer Dartford Borough Council

pure greed, no regard to existing residents, over use of river area, no regards to traffic implication for area,

Further considerations need to be given to the plans to ensure that the current proposals are in keeping with the existing designs.

completely ruins the appeal of the estate. Considering buying but would lose the river view that has been sold to me. Awful idea.

I am in the process of purchasing a first floor apartment in Clarinda House and do not want my river view to be spoiled with a row of houses and flats. There need to be serious consideration from Crest to design the new homes in such a way that the existing river views are being kept.

Save Park and its unique ambience

This development will completely obstruct my beautiful view currently.

Thank you Sonia. Crest are in the propose of looking at the plans and hopefully changing them based on the feedback and the meeting we had with them.

JUST TO CONFIRM There has been no planning application made for any changes to The Pier at Ingress Park and therefore there has been no change to the planning position. When a planning application is submitted neighbouring residents will be consulted and the proposal will be advertised in the local newspaper. I hope this clarifies the position.

Still no sign of a planning application. Have Crest gone back to the drawing board?
