5. Finally, although your notes state that statements <strong>of</strong><br />

loss <strong>of</strong> value <strong>of</strong> property should be avoided this is very<br />

difficult to ignore. We would not have bought this<br />

property two years ago and spent savings on<br />

renovating it if there had been an existing Cattery<br />

there, so it does beg the question - will anybody else?<br />

Further comments received 26.3.13<br />

Our additional concerns are as follows:<br />

1. The majority <strong>of</strong> the proposed structure, some 7<br />

units <strong>of</strong> the cattery back on to Chander Close with 8<br />

more in close proximity. This will be directly opposite<br />

and some 25 metres from our front lounge window.<br />

We have studied the plans and find them to be a<br />

confusing mixture <strong>of</strong> yards, feet and metres and some<br />

not to scale. By measurement <strong>of</strong> the plans over 50%<br />

<strong>of</strong> the structure is nearer to our home than their own<br />

house. I would estimate by some 8 metres. The<br />

neighbours on either side <strong>of</strong> us, 30 and 26, are in a<br />

similar situation. Additionally, the neighbours adjacent<br />

to the applicant's house look to be in a similar<br />

situation, if not worse.<br />

2. The height <strong>of</strong> the structures indicated on the plans<br />

is also confusing. With the addition <strong>of</strong> foundations and<br />

flooring we are looking at more than 2 metres high,<br />

well above the rear fencing. The existing blue painted<br />

hut is at least 1 metre above the rear fence at present<br />

(personally measured) colour-wise it will not blend<br />

with the proposed appearance <strong>of</strong> the installation.<br />

3. Presently there are trees/shrubs creating partial<br />

screening. It would be surprising if these were not<br />

removed during a construction phase. Would these be<br />

replaced by trees/shrubs <strong>of</strong> a similar height?<br />

4. I have also had the opportunity to view the rear<br />

garden from one <strong>of</strong> their direct neighbours and can<br />

only express my horror at the size <strong>of</strong> the structure<br />

taking up some 50% <strong>of</strong> the applicant's residential<br />

garden.<br />

5. Comments by the applicant state that the Chander<br />

Close gates will not be used for a cattery. We trust<br />

this will include the construction stage if agreed. Use<br />

by the catering business should also be prevented as<br />

this entrance has been extensively used in the past<br />

during house reconstruction.<br />

6. No mention <strong>of</strong> washing up facilities for the cattery.<br />

Will this be done in the same kitchen as is used in the<br />

preparation <strong>of</strong> food for the catering business.<br />

7. Significantly, the question <strong>of</strong> the accumulation <strong>of</strong><br />
