Comment:I am writing on behalf of Hucknall Pre-School Playgroup to formally object to the planning application V/2025/0078. 
We are a long standing, charitable Pre-School Playgroup providing care and education for 2-5 year olds, we currently have 42 children attending and are open Monday to Friday.

We have serious concerns about the impact this development will have on the privacy and safety of children attending the Pre-school Playgroup, specifically due to two windows in the proposed development overlooking their outdoor play area.
The Pre-schoolâ€™s outdoor space is used for the majority of the day Monday to Friday and is an important environment for young children to learn, socialise, and play in a secure and private area. The windows proposed in the development will directly overlook this area, causing potential issues with the privacy of the children and staff. It is crucial for young children to feel safe during their playtime, and being overlooked poses a risk to their sense of security.
In addition, we are concerned about the impact the development will have on parking availability for parents who have children attending the Pre-School Playgroup. At present, parking in the area is already limited, and during drop-off and pick-up times, it is often difficult for parents to find suitable parking spaces. The addition of a multi occupancy building can only worsen the current parking situation.
We request that our concerns are given full consideration when assessing this application.
