Objection to Planning Application 36748/APP/2023/2176 - 10 Oakwood Road, Pinner
1. The proposed block of flats planned to replace the existing
large well-maintained period bungalow, following demolition, will
be oversized and incongruous at the junction of Oakwood Road and
Ashley Close. It will be detrimental to the established character,
and appearance of its surroundings, and will harm the visual
amenities of the area. The site's longest elevation lies on Ashley
Close. which is similarly all bungalows.
2. The proposed four flats, containing 11 beds, has only 4 parking
spaces planned. This is likely to result increased pressure on the
limited street parking available, and cause significant congestion;
particularly when taking into account visitors driving to the
block, This might include friends, family, carers, deliveries and
those servicing the block. Parking is already under pressure since
Northwood Hills tube, a 15 minute walk away, had its adjoining
streets made resident parking only. There is also currently no bus
service immediately outside the location, resulting in more car
use. Parking on the corners of Ashley Close, a confined cull-d-sac,
will limit visibility of cyclists entering and leaving the
road.
3. Increased levels of traffic will reduce air quality, and will
cause noise nuisance, to the detriment of all current residents and
visitors.
4. The development will be overbearing and reduce the privacy
currently enjoyed by its immediate neighbours.
5. The planned new driveways in the narrow width entrance road to
Ashley Close, will require the road width opposite them to be kept
clear, This will likely result in friction between road users and
residents alike. The driveways will require paving over of green
garden space.
On reaching 20 signatures it may be considered in conjunction with the relevant live planning application at an upcoming Committee meeting. The Council's Democratic Services Team will be in touch with the lead petitioner to advise and take this petition forward accordingly.
