RE: LIDL PLANNING APPLICATION AT ORGAN & DRAGON SITE – REFERENCE 16/00933/FUL

You may not be aware that Lidl has put in a new application to Epsom & Ewell Council for a new build on the old Organ & Dragon site on the corner of the London Road and the Ewell By-Pass. The proposal involves a new building similar to that in Leatherhead with an underground car park. The proposed opening times are 7am – 8pm, 7 days a week.

Only a limited number of residents have been notified, but as this will potentially have an impact on you, we felt we should give you the opportunity to have your say. Further details about this planning application (16/00933/FUL) can be found on the Epsom & Ewell Borough Council website www.epsom-ewell.gov.uk/EEBC/Planning ,follow the planning links or in person at Epsom Town Hall and public libraries with internet access.

In addtition to signing this petition, residents can comment to the council either by writing a letter to:

Place Development Service, The Planning Office

Epsom & Ewell Borough Council

Town Hall

The Parade

Epsom

Surrey, KT18 5BY

Or by emailing the planning department at [email protected] (quoting above reference)

The council say you should only appeal for the following reasons:

  • Whether the proposal conflicts with any of the council’s planning policies
  • Whether the appearance and size of a new building is generally in keeping with its neighbours and the surrounding area
  • Whether adjoining residents will suffer any unreasonable overshadow, overlooking or loss of privacy
  • Whether a proposed use is a suitable one for the area – consider the safety of children walking to & from local schools across this site, effect on local roads etc.
  • Whether there will be any unreasonable increase in general disturbance, for example from the comings and goings of extra traffic – perhaps consider the existing congestion at this site already in your experience, other local similar sites etc.
  • Whether new roadways, accesses and adequate parking will be safe for road users and pedestrians
  • Whether new public buildings have satisfactory access for the disabled
  • Whether, in the case of an application for an advertisement, the proposed sign is loo large or unsightly
  • Whether a public footpath is affected
  • Whether there is any visual effect upon the landscape, e.g. loss of trees
  • Impact on the character and appearance of a Listed Building/Conservation Area in the case of applications for Listed Buildings Consent or conservation Area Consent
  • Boundary and other disputes between neighbours, e.g. private rights of way, drainage issues or covenants
  • Loss of view, unless, in limited circumstances, that view should be protected in the public interest
  • Loss of trade through increased competition
  • Loss of property value

However, the following cannot be taken into account:

We would ask you, as local residents, to contact the council by the 25th October (21 days since we received the letter dated 4th October from Epsom & Ewell Council about the proposed development plans).

Many thanks

From concerned local residents

The feedback from local residents has been overwhelming and shows just how much this project threatens our area. I have been spending my evenings reviewing the council response protocols and preparing our formal objections. It is exhausting work but we have to keep pressing for answers regarding the site impact.

I agree with the previous comments about Aldi. We could do with a well designed building with apartments for couples or single people, not another badly planned eyesore that will create more havoc for local residents.

Totally and utterly unsuitable traffic wise for a store of this kind. It's on a major junction and queuing to park - and there will be queues- will cause mayhem. The only reason it's not worse at theAldi store on the bypass is because it's a dual carriageway enabling traffic to flow.

The planning inspectorate ruled on traffic grounds in 2014. This issue remains and an u derv round car park is not going to make any difference to the volume of traffic that this proposal will generate.

I strongly object to this proposal based on that junction of London Road and Ewell bypass is already at full capacity. There are tail backs there from the lights at most times of the day. That area cannot accommodate any increase in traffic congestion. And yet another supermarket.

I object to this application because we are already well served by local shops who will suffer if this outlet goes ahead. The increase in traffic will result in more congestion, noise and danger.

I feel that the traffic in the surrounding roads are at a limit already. This will add to this in a way that will determent the local area and I am very concerned for the safety of my daughter as she walks past the site.
