Cllr. Robert Nemeth

BH2021/00570 - 169 Portland Road

17^th June 2021:

I should be grateful if you would place my objection on the record to the above application.

I don’t believe that any consultation with neighbours has taken place and, certainly, no consultation with Councillors has gone ahead.

As per our discussion, neighbours remain concerned about the parking situation. As I have tried to emphasise, their objections do not amount to a separate issue about what is taking place on private land behind. Instead, the concern is that Portland Road – the most dangerous road locally – cannot handle more double-parking and other dangerous practices that will arise from increased takeaway activity. The application does not contain proof that this will not take place.

Without assurances to the contrary, I have no choice but to object on this occasion.
