4. Public Participation

Some members of the public were present and made it known that they were
unhappy with the proposed change of use of a house on Woodland Road
(planning app: 20171381)

Mr. Abbott of 147 Woodland Road spoke on behalf of other residents: There is
a major concern over staffing and working patterns causing disruption during
the day to parking and driveway access of other residents. Noise level was also
a concern with waste collections and extra deliveries. This doesn’t take into
account the house neighbouring the property and the impact on the residents
there. It was also pointed out that the house sits only two doors away from a
busy T junction and it could pose a safety issue.
