Dear planning, Ref: 23/01345/A Proposal: Appeal against the refusal for approval in principle for the construction of new housing Address: 60 Victoria Road Douglas Isle Of Man IM2 4HQ > I wish to object to the proposed planning application as before on the following grounds:
- > 1. Impact on the environment > This is one of the few large green spaces in the city Douglas where local flora and fauna can continue to thrive. Wild life will struggle and numbers will decline as more green space disappear. > > The location of the road to access the properties proposed I’m sure would have an impact on the few remaining mature trees by affecting their root systems. > 2/3 of the garden is going to be tarmac and concrete, by paving or concreting gardens adding to the amount of impermeable surfaces increasing the risk of flooding. Increasing run off >
- > 2.Safety > The proposed access exit, and entrance is coming out on an already busy main route into and out of Douglas. It joins onto Victoria road on a bend, increasing risk of road traffic incidents happening on this route exiting the lane. >
- > 3. Privacy and impact on neighbouring houses. > This would impact on the privacy and tranquility of the remaining gardens, especially for both 54, and 56 Victoria road.
> > I co own 54 Victoria road, and this is still my family’s home. > > I feel this is an unnecessary development of a valued green area in Douglas. > > I would appreciate if the planning board would consider my objections, again, as part of the appeal. > > Yours sincerely,
