Dear all,
I am writing to put my concerns and opposition on record regarding the proposed development on the existing parkland in front of Finchley Memorial Hospital. My objections are as follows:
- Parking provision is too low and will cause increases in parking demand and traffic on local roads that are poorly equipped to meet it
- The size of the buildings proposed is disproportionately large when compared to the surrounding buildings, including the hospital itself
- There is no formal mechanism or policy that will ensure the housing is used for NHS keyworkers, or that it will be affordable for them
The development does not appear to respect the mass, height or pattern of local buildings which, when combined with the loss of green space, seems at odds with Barnet’s planning policy.
Regards
Jon
