How do I make my objection count?
|
The council will only consider objections that contain material planning considerations. We have provided some material planning considerations below as a guide.
Simply copying text is not as effective so it’s important that you use your own words and say exactly how you feel about the plans and how they will impact you and the community. To make your objection meaningful, please include one or more of the reasons below in your email. Here are some of the key reasons for objecting: Material Planning Considerations • The planned housing is inappropriate development on protected Metropolitan Open Land (MOL) – the plans have a larger footprint than the previous scheme and encroach further into the park. • Environmental impact including Increased pollution, significant loss of mature trees (153 in total) and impact to local wildlife. • Increased traffic and inadequate parking (30 spaces for around 295 housing units). • Overshadowing - loss of daylight and sunlight (Peal Gardens, Ruislip Road East and the park itself). • Loss of visual amenity (but not loss of private view). • Development is overbearing, out of scale and out of character in terms of its appearance. • The size, scale and density of the housing development is excessive for this site. • The amount of Affordable Housing (35%) is well below strategic targets – should be 50% on public sector land. • Housing mix not line with the Borough’s needs – vast majority one and two bed properties with only 26 three bed units. • Non-compliance with local, regional, and national planning policy. *Please note – impact to schools, NHS are not deemed “material considerations” so if you are objecting, please do not focus on these areas. |
