Objection

I live in a residential area, if I wanted to live near a hotel I would live in a commercial area. This proposal goes against community cohesion.

We will have an endless stream of unknown people staying from day to day who therefore have no regard for impact on the neighbours relating to noise, rubbish, anti-social behaviour or parking.

A stream of hotel guests increases the traffic & parking congestion in the locality as well negatively impacting upon the neighbours who have chosen to live in a residential conservation area.

The current occupiers of 29 The Chantry have several adults living there already –

Are they moving out? This is relevant as if they are not going to be there when ‘hosting’ guests in the b&b/hotel they are not impacted upon, just the families who live in the street.

I have lived in this area for over a decade, many, many people raise their children here; the owners of number 29 have owned the house for 6 months & do not seem to recognise that the area is for families not commerce.
