If you want help, what I have submitted is shown below.

Revised Planning Application Ref: PAP/2012/0394

I am writing to object to the planning application above.

The revised drawings submitted do show some changes in design, however my objections raised in my original letter of 24^th August 2012 have not been addressed.

The particular points I would like to reiterate are:-

1. The proposed building obscures the view of two listed buildings (Grade 2 and Grade 2*), particularly Alpha House.

2. The proposed building is not “affordable housing” it is a speculative development for which there is little or no demand. There were 15 one, two or three bedroom properties for sale in Fillongley as at 7^th February 2013 (Zoopla.co.uk). Furthermore there is no need for further affordable housing in Fillongley when the Council is already able to house even single, working, men.

3. The proposed building does not respect its surroundings, the surrounding buildings are not predominantly timber clad and certainly not in dark grey.

4.  The proposed development would deprive Alpha House of light during the afternoon and evening as with the slope of Ousterne Lane  it would stand some 6.7 metres  higher than the ground level at the back of Alpha House to the west side of the building.

The proposed building would be denied any light at all in its miniscule garden as it is surrounded by walls at least 2 meters high on all sides and is north facing.

The proposed building would not have any natural light from noon onwards as there are no windows to the west of the building.

5. The proposed development means that the Steward’s vehicle and those of his/her family will no longer be in view of the occupants and will therefore be vulnerable to theft.

Reference to the actually planning policies can be found in my original letter to yourselves of 24^th August 2012.

My other comments raised in that letter have also not been addressed and I would ask that you take my original letter in consideration of my current objection.

Please would you acknowledge receipt of my objection.
