Bellotts Road planning application


I have raised formal objection to the scheme to build six flats on the site of 21 Bellotts Road and have asked that if the planning officer is minded to approve the application that it is referred to the development control committee for determination.

I must stress that this application will only go to committee if a recommendation to approve is put forward if not it may be refused by the case officer without referral to committee.

I have used to following grounds to object.

1) The proposed scheme represents a harmful over development of the site.

2) The intensity of student use in this residential area that would harm the resident character and amenity of the area.

3) The Scheme would be overbearing and damaging to its setting within the world heritage site.

4) The development is contrary to Policies T24 and T26 of the adopted Bath and North East Somerset Local
Plan.

5) The development is on a dangerous corner after a narrow Bridge with a very poor sight line and additional pedestrian movement could prove dangerous at this point.
