Comment:I object to the above proposal on the grounds of increased traffic on an already over used road that is being used for parking by non residents including vehicles against dropped kerbs which is an infringement of the highway code regulations ...staff from the school ,clients from the hairdressers and workers from the New Line Road factories also park on Orchard Rd...until now I have not been aware of the previous planning application on the same sight as no notification by the council was received  however I did  receive a letter from  the council dated Monday 24th Nov 25 regarding a planning application for a 3 bedroom detached dwelling with no mention of the C3 or C2 care facility ... I am also aware that nearby residents to the proposed sight have not been notified of the planning application letter dated 15th Jan 26...I am also not aware that any application has been posted or attached to any street furniture adjacent to the proposed site ...I am aware that someone has removed part of  the stone wall on the proposed site for vehicle access has  this been carried out with the permission of the council ? I understand that in properties opposite the sight the walls are included within a conservation area namely No 12 & No 14 these cannot be altered without permission ...I believe that even the schedule for refuse collection time had to be altered due to the lorry not being able to manoeuvre down the road due to the parked vehicles ...consideration should be given to wildlife ie birds, insects, trees which should be protected...Orchard Rd has always been a quite residential road until alterations to Orchard school were made restricting staff parking on the school site therefore Orchard Rd has become what appears to be their nearest place to park and for parents to park at the start and end of the school day the addition of a new property would only add to the already congested situation...with regard to noise and disturbance I believe the new proposed care home would only add to further congestion due to visitors staff and other professionals at the change of shifts early /late times of the day and night etc ...Orchard Rd is not the correct place for this type of business (C2) care home due to the close locality of a early years setting ie Orchard School and Nursery and the residents children already living on the road...we would wish to support any action that would help to stop any further deterioration off our residential road.
