Planning objection for Phases 6 and 6b of Millbrook Park
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to object to the above application in my capacity as London Assembly Member for Barnet and Camden. Principally, I am objecting to the impact of this development on the neighbouring scout camp site, Frith Grange.
The proposed new buildings would overlook the camp site, which has the potential to cause safeguarding and security issues as a number of young people are involved in outdoor activities. Specifically, the toilet and accommodation block are likely to be overlooked as a result of the change from the currently agreed 4 storey to 5 and 6 storey buildings. The taller buildings will also result in the appearance of the camp site changing from a rural feeling to one far more urban.
The proposed block of flats in 6b will come right up to the boundary of the camp site, a 23m high brick wall. This is far too close, and will have an unacceptable outlook.
I therefore hope officers will be minded to refuse this application.
Yours sincerely,
Andrew Dismore AM
