For the attention of Shona King Cherwell District Council
Letter of objection for the planning application 09/01275/F
Date 20th October 2009
I object to the application
09/01275/F for the following reasons:
1. This
proposed development has no architectural merit, located as it is in a
conservation area. It is unsightly and does not 'preserve or enhance' the
conservation area as required by local planning.
2. The
development sited in the car park looks higher than the existing pub roof. (its
hard to tell because the plans are badly drawn) Surely the roof line should be
no higher than that of the existing building?
3 The barn (to
be bedroom 1) is part of a licensed premises, there has been no change of use
application from A4 to C1 so how could this be allowed?
4. The bar
seems to have been removed from the plans submitted. Surely as this is this is
still a licensed premises that should not have been allowed to happen?
5. The planned development would mean removing 3 or 4
parking places from the Bishop Blaize car park and actually creates a need for
at least 4 more spaces in what was already an overcrowded car park.
6.
The existing storage space on G. Noquets calculation is reduced by
25% by the conversion of the barn to a bedroom. Where are the beer barrels
etc going to be stored?
7. Access to bedroom two,
three, and four seems to be through bedroom one, I am sure that anyone staying
in bedroom one would object this, I also assume it must against Health and
safety rules.
8. There are already three B&B establishments in
the Sibfords - all of which are struggling for business and this development
would only make life more difficult for them to continue.

sincerely
