Objection to Planning Application 35516/APP/2021/2969 - Redevelopment of 32 Norwich Road into 8 flats

We the undersigned petition Hillingdon Council to Refuse planning permission for this application

We the undersigned, are strongly against the proposal to proposal to redevelop 32 Norwich Road (Planning Application ref 35516/APP/2021/2969) into 8 flats for the following reasons:
1. A block of flats is not in keeping with the surrounding streets which solely comprise individual houses and bungalows
2. There are no other blocks of flats in the surrounding streets and if this development is allowed would create a precedent which would completely change the character of the area and make parking untenable
3. The size and design of the proposed development is totally out of character with the surrounding streets especially the provision of balconies
4. The off-street parking provision of the proposed development does not meet the minimum requirements of the Local Plan Parking Standards (which stipulate 12 spaces)
5. The current level of street parking in Norwich Road and surrounding streets would not be able to absorb the additional parking requirements of 8 flats
6. The application states it will provide six off-street parking spaces but in reality it is only offering two as four of these are directly in front of a bus stop
7. To achieve the parking in front of the building would require the bus stop to be moved and we do not consider there to be another suitable position to relocate it due to the existing street layout
8. The traffic reports states that the free flow of traffic on Norwich Road is unaffected by parked cars on both sides – as long-time residents we can confirm this is not factual and there is severe congestion during rush hour and school times. At any time of day, two way traffic is not possible when buses, lorries and vans use the road

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.
