Objection to planning application for IBSA House The Ridgeway London NW7 4SB, Ref: 19/6551/FUL
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to object to the above application in my capacity as London Assembly Member for Barnet and Camden.
My objection to this application relates to the height of the residential blocks, especially along Partingdale Lane. In the new Millbrook Park development all the buildings alongside Partingdale Lane were required to be a maximum of 2 storeys to respect the lane and the adjacent Green Belt.
It seems now that that criterion has been ditched and the buildings along the lane will be 6 storeys high and on elevated ground. The tree screen between the buildings and the lane is deciduous and can be seen through during winter. The blocks will be visible from and impact on the Green Belt.
Additionally there are houses in this area that will be overlooked and enclosed – particularly Partingdale Lodge, Turpins and the Cottages 1 – 6.
The scheme represents overdevelopment of the site, with the additional impact of extra traffic and a burden on already stretched facilities, such as school places and doctors’ surgeries.
Yours sincerely,
Andrew Dismore AM
London Assembly Member for Barnet and Camden
