The housing density proposed for this site should be drastically reduced so that an aesthetically pleasing suitable development of houses or even flats no higher than the surrounding dwellings can replace the existing offices.

This is inappropriate, excessively dense overbearing development in an established residential area of homes a maximum two and a half storeys high. This is not what the residents want. Previous requests to reduce the density and overbearing effect on local residents have been continually ignored in previous consultations; in fact the opposite has happened. Originally proposed was 22 dwellings, then 44 and now 48 dwellings on a 0.21Ha site which equates to some 229 dwellings per Ha. This can only be achieved by excessively high development leading to overlooking and an over bearing effect on the neighbours.
