Stop Developer Building Flats in Havering Back Garden

Planning Application Ref: P1986.16

Reject this planning application and make the developer put back trees along the park boundary that he destroyed in order to try and make his planning application look better.

Why is this important?

Hylands Park is a beautiful little park in Havering where people walk their dogs, children of all ages play tennis, football, basketball, local school pupils go there to say goodbye to their friends on the last day of term and where cricket is played during the summer months.

A developer has bought a house with a long garden that runs behind the cricket nets in the park. This garden used to be filled with thick, strong trees that were taller than my house (on the other side of this garden) and must have stood there for decades. These trees formed a boundary between the park and the housing estate behind it, as well as being part of the stunning backdrop of the park. When the developer tore them down it was as though someone had taken a knife and slashed holes in a beautiful painting. He now wants to compound the eyesore he has created by putting a block of flats in this garden.

If this development is allowed to go ahead, it would lead down a slippery road where more and more buildings are allowed to encroach on our green open spaces. This is an issue that affects everyone that cares about their local parks and communities.

Dear Friends and Neighbours,

The developer has once again entered a planning application that attacks the beauty of our local park. His last proposal was rejected due to the negative impact it would have had on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and we believe this proposal should be rejected for the same reason. To add your objection, please go to
http://development.havering.gov.uk/OcellaWeb/planningSearch and enter the
P1787.17.

Your continued support is greatly appreciated!

We did it!!!

The appeal has been dismissed! To read the decision in full, go to https://acp.planninginspectorate.gov.uk, and type 3176485 in 'search for case'.

Thank you all so much for your support. It just goes to show what can be achieved when a community stands together!

The developer (flats 28 Osborne Rd) has appealed against the decision to reject his application APP/B5480/W/17/3176485.

As a community we have done a fantastic job of working together to create a strong case to ensure his previous application was rejected and we must once again come together and show our passion to stop these flats being built. We have the full support of our local councillor and MP but the more of us who stand together on this, the better.

To object, please go to http://acp.planninginspectorate.gov.uk, click 'planning inspectorate'. Type 3176485 in 'search for case' then click 'make a representation'.

Please express your feelings. You can include facts such as the land is being over developed, increased traffic, pollution, not in keeping with surrounding properties and, very importantly, that there is insufficient room for a fire engine to access block 2 by the park(fireman verified).

All objections must be received by 16Aug.
ThankYou
