I object to the plans for a block of 3/4 storey apartments to be built on Weston View. This space is used by dog-walkers and other exercisers, and is a source of wellbeing for local residents and the community at large. I do not wish for more buildings to be erected, more traffic and damage to the environment on Weston View. I object to these buildings that stand to overlook my home, balcony or local community area, or that of my neighbours and pose a threat to community and individual wellbeing. Council planners should reject this ill-considered planning application.

Formal documentation outlining the specific objections to the Weston View development has been drafted and submitted to the planning department. I am now awaiting a confirmed time for a consultation with the local council representative to discuss these concerns directly.

The volume of support has secured us a formal meeting with the district planning committee to discuss the Weston View project. I am currently synthesizing our primary objections into a briefing document for their review next week.

Just too many small green spaces being developed. Spaces like this are essential in built up areas for exercise and mental health. This area is part of Crookes history.

Inappropriate development with an overcrowded use of a space valued by local residents and others. I have a friend that lives locally and who doesn't walk well. this is a perfect trip for him. I ma told service charges pay for the maintenance. so it is at no coast to the council. Please leave this area alone

I object to the wanton destruction of a precious piece of green space with such biodiversity. I walked on that patch this morning and counted at least 15 different meadow flowers.

As a resident of Weston View, I highly value the green space for the view and sense of openness. The space is in regular use by many people, including families, exercisers and dog walkers. Losing the green space would have a major detrimental effect on the community.

This is the only green space in walking distance to my house. It was one of the reasons we bought the house, that we had accessible green space for our growing family. There is already enough pollution and traffic on this road, adding to this would be disastrous for all locals.

Will take away open space, home to wildlife! The building will be in pleasing to the eye and will cause more traffic on an already busy road. The building will also look out of place and will stand out against terraced housing! Crookes does not require this development!

This is a significant loss of open space to the street, this is increasingly at a premium. A development with this scale and massing should be buffered from the road or it will be out of character
