Reasons for
comment:
Comments: Dear Sir,

This is an immensely disappointing application which
clearly fails to conform with Neighbourhood Plan policy
for the site as set out in Policy ASW9, As such I object to
this specific application.

Most specifically the scheme does not reflect the
predominant character of the area with regard to unit
type, scale and massing as required under
Neighbourhood Plan policy ASW9(a). The design
proposed is particularly ugly, the density is too intensive
and the buildings are too high. The applicants can do so
much better here.

I would like to see a full Housing Needs assessment
carried out by the applicants. Also the site must provide
for the full element of affordable houses (for local
people) as required by the planning authority. This
application clearly fails such test.

Thank you.
