The residents of Thirlestane Road and Spottiswoode Road object to the proposed plans for the James Gillespies redevelopment.

This development would have an unacceptable impact on the residential amenity of the adjoining occupants, both within their homes and their private garden space, because of the over-dominance of the large pool and sports buildings, the visual intrusion and interlooking caused by the many first floor windows, the artificial lighting and potential noise from the location of the playground and the car park.  The design is not in keeping with the conservation area.  As such, we strongly object to the proposed development in its current form.
