Comment:

Comment:In principle I have no objections to a single dwelling on the land, however the application has several inaccurate facts contained within both the plans and documents which need to be considered.

 DRG No.  A101 .        
The drive access onto Norman Avenue states that the existing entrance be modified to provide a 4.298m wide drive to 14A, with a 3.706m access to the new property, this is not possible as the total clear width at this point is only 6.9m,  this further narrows at the point where the repositioned gates are shown, as the boundary kinks in to approx.2.15m.  This plans is incorrectly drawn indicating a straight boundary.  Item 6.2 of the Planning Assessment draws attention to a previous application stating that 3.2m is deemed acceptable as a driveway width, this clearly cannot be achieved. That application included taking part of no. 14 garden to achieve this measurement. 
DRG A302   Location Plan.        Why is the red boundary line drawn to include the road, it is not part of the application and does not form any part of the ownership of 14A.

I draw your attention to the Planning Assessment document;
PAGE 2    please ensure that the address is correct.
PAGE 6 item 1.      This road is a private road from the last corner, owned by each resident from the front of their property to the middle of the road, all resident have a right of way over each others.
PAGE 6  item 5.      Surely the new property would be required to apply for a right of way over the existing road ownership
PAGE 6.   Trees and Hedges.      The document state that there are no trees or hedges affected or indeed indicated on the plans.  The boundary between the site and Taylor Crescent is a constant line of tall conifer hedging planted on the application site. Hedging and trees also occur on the boundary between 14 and 14A.
PAGE 7    This states that surface water is to soakaways .  This land is an ex railway cutting filled with colliery slurry topped with minimal top soil, it does not drain, water runs along the top of the slurry and in heavy rain the grassed top flouts.
PAGE 9  Foul Drainage.   How can you not know where the drainage is going to and if any connections are available, after all this is supposed to be a full Planning Application.

Conclusion.     As stated I do not have an objection to the application providing that the information provide is correct before consideration,  I would also like you to consider the follow to form part of any approval
As previously stated this is a private road and as such no deliveries or materials should be unloaded or stored on the road but only be delivered onto the site.
Operative vehicles to be parked on site, not on the road.
Working hours to be restricted to say 8.00am to 5.00pm, 5 days a week.
