Comment:I am writing to object to the planning application being any form of commercial building for the following reasons :

Having lived on Orchard Road for 7 years and working from home several days a week, I see the commotion caused by traffic on the street.

The teachers from the school, workers from the Industrial estate below us and customers of the hair dressers a Turkish barbers all park on the street. 

During the school run the street is like a free for all. I've not been able to get off my drive on several occasions as parents had parked over my drive.

The traffic issue is an accident waiting to happen, the street has recently had double yellow lines reinstated at the entrance of the street as backed up traffic caused big delays onto the main road as people parked inconsiderately. This has inadvertently but correctly pushed residents cars up the street, meaning less car parking even for residents. 

The planning application suggests this house would be used as a care home for children which suggests staff and potentially more cars. 

I dont think a commercial property is suited to this small street which is already being used extensively as an overspill for teacher parking from the school. 

I would recommend if this planning application gets progressed that members of the planning committee come and take a survey and observe both the non residential parking through the day (During school term time) and also the street during the school run. 

I can happily advise and point out non residential vehicles should you require. I appreciate there are no parking restrictions on the street, but as a resident, sometimes I cant even get onto the street or park outside my house. I see this on a daily basis and just cant see how any commercial property could be considered for such a small street with a dead end.

Regards,
