| General discussion on site NDP-S005 The point was made that when Goldcrest was built on such a large plot, the planners didn't want the house set back on the plot as they felt it should be broadly on the existing building line of St Georges Row. Building behind this would go against this original decision. The presentation suggested that these would be smaller more affordable houses but what exactly do they mean by affordable? It doesn't stack up financially. Demolishing a large house and then only building 2-4 smaller ones doesn't make sense. This proposal doesn't work, it creates houses behind the others and doesn't fit with Sawyers Crescent. It would create additional traffic on that corner which is bad enough anyway. Although the presentation suggested that this would be a benefit for the Village, I don't see it like this. It is basically a proposal for financial gain by the owners, who wouldn't have to live with the consequences (they can't as their house would be gone). There is nothing in it for the Village. The meeting was asked for any positive comments on the proposal - none were offered and there was a general view that the proposal would not be supported by those present. |
