Plans from 29 September 2009
Planning Application W2009/ 0345 Mitie Security, Nelson Lane, Warwick.
Dear Sir
We wish to object to the proposal to install a storage container in the company’s car park in Nelson Lane. The appearance of the container from the footpath is objectionable and we don’t see why the landscape, even if it is in a commercial area, should be allowed to be degraded in this way.
We ask the Council to refuse planning permission for this application.
Planning Application W2009/ 1029 Warwick Racecourse, Hampton Road, Warwick.
Dear Sir
We are opposed to the introduction of another temporary structure into the forecourt of the racecourse buildings. Either a proper building be erected or the racecourse company do without.
We ask the Council to refuse planning permission for this application.
Planning Application W2009/1033 13 Swan Street, Warwick.
Dear Sir
We find the proposed sign too large and unsympathetic to the scale of other shop fronts in Swan Street. The wide white panel separating the shop front and first floor windows is an architectural feature which needs careful treatment, certainly black lettering on a white background is unsuitable in this situation. The shop owners should consult with the Conservation Officers for guidance.
We ask the Council to refuse planning permission for this application.
Planning Application W2009/1108 Greyhound Inn, Emscote Road, Warwick.
Dear Sir
We would ask that the design of the proposed extract ducting be given more thought so that it can be made less externally intrusive. We believe that this could be achieved be a rearrangement of the sources
of fumes. In the meantime the Council should refuse planning permission for this application in its present form.
Planning Application W2009/ 1113/1114LB
Dear Sir
We see it as essential that if these premises are to be converted into a cafe that arrangements are in place for deliveries and the removal of rubbish to take place at the rear of the building and not through the front. If this is not possible then planning permission should be refused. We are not happy with the proposed front and would prefer it be designed in the way of a more traditional shop front with a higher stall riser.
Planning Application W2009/ 1144/1150LB 64 – 66 Market Place, Warwick.
Plans from 15 October 2009
Planning Application W2009/ 1036 10 Coten End, Warwick.
Dear Sir
We note that not all of the windows are shown on the elevation drawings and are concerned that the garden of the neighbour at No 10 will be overlooked from the upstairs flat bedroom resulting in an unacceptable loss of privacy.
Planning Application W2009/ 1117/1118LB 11 Mill Street, Warwick.
Dear Sir
We are concerned that the proposed construction of a basement level exercise suite and swimming pool will adversely affect the integrity and setting of this listed building and its listed neighbours (grade II*) contrary to Local Plan policy DAP4. A full investigation should be undertaken into the natural drainage and water table to ensure that there is no adverse impact on the neighbouring properties and, as this dwelling is located in an ancient and historic part of Warwick, a full archaeological investigation carried out. The garden represents an important part of the setting of the building so the depth of the covering soil must be sufficient to support significant planting. The wall should be rebuilt with existing bricks. We ask the Council to ensure that all statutory obligations be met with regard to neighbouring residents and that there will be no nuisances from noise arising from forced ventilation, pumping and filtration equipment and from smell from chemical treatments.
Planning Application W2009/ 1148. 48 Arundel Close, Warwick.
Dear Sir
We see these proposals for extensions and Granny Flat as over development on a small site to the detriment of neighbouring residents. The proposed extensions represent an increase of 50% greater than the original volume of the main building and would no longer be subservient to it.
Planning Application W2009/1162/1163LB Icon House, 12 – 14 Jury Street, Warwick.
Dear Sir
We are concerned that the single storey rear extension and and addition third storey to the stair core will lead to overlooking of the house and garden at the rear and loss of privacy to the resident, we ask the Council to ensure that this will not occur. We are also concerned that there is no car parking for the flats and restaurant use, a situation that will result in a worsening of the parking situation in the town centre streets and one that is in conflict with the parking standards for residential development contained in the Supplementary Planning Document Vehicle Parking Standards.
Planning Application W2009/ 1191 Land adjacent to 41 Bridge End, Warwick.
Dear Mr Wallsgrove
We have very serious concerns over the survival of the Oak tree whose canopy and roots extend over most of the site of this proposed dwelling. The tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order and it would be irresponsible and cynical to allow this development to take place in the knowledge that the stability of the tree, which already has one house under its canopy, would certainly be affected by the construction of a second dwelling and its survival severely compromised.
We ask the Council to refuse planning permission for this application.
Planning Application W2009/1193 – W678/09CC046. Park View Residential Home, Priory Road. Warwick
Dear Sir
While we are not in a position to discuss the technical points as to why there is a need to change the kitchen extraction unit from horizontal to vertical, we are concerned that the 5 metre high duct will be very visible from the higher ground in Priory Park which is a locally listed park and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Local Plan policy DAP11 seeks to protect the setting of parks included in the Local Register and we would recommend that screening be introduced so as to reduce the visual impact of the ducting on the park.
Planning Application W2009/ 1195 38 – 40 Market Place, Warwick.
Dear Sir
We welcome the proposal to retain the retail use of the former Woolworth store on the Market Place. However, the change of use to office of the Theatre Street access will deny delivery access for the units by that route. While appreciating that Woolworths had been unable to use the delivery bays after moving to larger vehicles, it would still be preferable to keep deliveries from Market Street to a minimum. We also reiterate our regret at the proposed loss of the loggia in front of the building, as this contributed much to the Market Place as a social hub, and would in fact benefit the proposed shops.
We note that there is no toilet provision shown either for the shops or the new office space, apart from that provided on the first floor. Although this is a change of use application, we would like to see that suitable provision is feasible before permission is granted.
Planning Application W2009/ 1216 2 Myton Crescent, Warwick.
Dear Sir
Subject to the opinion of the neighbours, we welcome this innovative design which we hope will be taken as an example for elsewhere.
