As you may be aware a planning application has been made to demolish numbers 22 and 22a Thornton Road and replace them with a building containing a large number of self-contained flats.

We will be making an objection to the proposed development for a number of reasons, including over development and traffic / parking issues.

Some of you may already be planning to object directly to the council. However, we would be grateful if you would sign our online petition link that is below:

https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/planning-objec...

We will submit the petition along with our formal objection and we will also send it to our local councilors to help ensure their support in rejecting the application.

Please don't build here. My son goes to the White House school and there are already too many people driving up that road often too fast. We don't drive to the school itself but find simply crossing the road challenging.

I object to the planning application upon the grounds that the flats would directly overlook the Whitehouse School playground. The height of the flats might adversely effect the amount of light falling on the playground thus depriving the children of the environmental benefit of sunlight much needed especially in the Winter months. Moreover, the block is completely out of character with the immediate amenity which is primarily detached properties.

I strongly object to this planning application on the basis that the proposed flats will look directly over a school and, in particular, its playground, which is also used for sports activities. The school is situated in a very busy thoroughfare as it is, but these flats would lead to a substantial spike in car movements in extremely close proximity to the school. This is likely to be very dangerous for the primary school age children that attend, the vast majority of whom arrive on foot, by scooter or bicycle. I believe this would be particularly prevalent during morning drop off. i would urge the council to reject this application.

I would like to add my objections to this planning application. For the following reasons 1) Likely increase in traffic and therefore safety concerns as there are 2 schools very close by. The impact is both in terms of increased risk of accidents and increased air pollution 2) The proposed development is not in keeping with the architecture of the surrounding area 3) Increased pressure on the local amenities and council services at a time where budgets are under severe pressure 4) Increased air pollution from the building works again this will have an impact on the local school children Finally I cannot see the benefit that the local community will receive from this development

I object to this application due to increased traffic and safety concerns for the children from the many primary schools in the area.
