We the undersigned petition the council to act to preserve the character of the Rushford Park Conservation Area, currently under threat from a series of planning applications. This conservation area is characterised by Victorian and Edwardian houses, extensive gardens, an unusual profusion of wildlife and mature trees.
We consider that applications should be rejected if:
More housing units are created, masquerading as domestic extensions, increasing population density.
Gardens are divided for use as additional building plots, destroying the character of the area and reducing the local biodiversity and rich wildlife.
The plans would result in any further increase in traffic, already a problem in the area.
Further development puts increased pressure on the antiquated services such as water and sewerage.
The proposed very large poorly designed extension at 1 Rushford Park should be rejected. Previous attempts to inappropriately maximise the building on that plot have been rejected and this should be treated in the same way for the benefit of residents and the protection of the Rushford Park Conservation Area as a unique and valuable place.

The growing support for the protection of our neighborhood demonstrates that many residents value the preservation of our architectural heritage. This collective response confirms that the proposed development at Rushford Avenue remains a significant concern for our community.

this landlord is irresponIble; the ledging to Central Ave is hardly ever cut, forcing pedestrians to walk in the road on what is a dangerous corner. More flats & cars will increase the risk to the generl public.
This is the third time the owner of No 1 has tried this... if it went ahead it would completely destroy the last of the larger buildings in the area [all the other ones are now blocks of flats which is partly why they introduced a conservation area]. This plan seriously threatens the trees and the wildlife they support which is the heart of this lovely area. Pure garden grabbing... and extra cars too.
No
Completely wrong in the conservation area
A disgrace! We do not want this in our Conservation Area
Objected to the planning application!
We need to save and preserve all our mature tree stocks . Stop cutting them down!
