I find this particularly unhelpful. The Applicant's name is: Mr Victor Pankhania, although this should not indicate the nature of the application.<br /> <br />BELOW, I WILL OUTLINE MY OBJECTIONS TO THIS APPLICATION. PLEASE CAN YOU ADVISE ME/ COMMENT IN ANY WAY IN WHICH MAY BE OF HELP?<br />ALSO, IS IT AT ALL POSSIBLE FOR ANYONE TO SUPPORT MY OPPOSITION<br />SINCE I FEEL YET ANOTHER /FAST-FOOD EATERY/TAKE-AWAY WILL BE MOST DETRIMENTAL TO THIS COMMUNITY SHOPPING AREA.<br /><br />I live at 1A Stratheden Parade (next door, on 1st floor), and am an owner-occupier.<br />I oppose this application on the grounds of:<br />- noise: the premises is alongside a bus-stop (for buses 108 & 286), and across from the Royal Standard pub (smokers gather outside regularly, particularly at nightime, and at closing-time there is generally heightened noise). My bedroom windows are above the bus-stop/ opposite the pub, and the noise already is disturbing enough.<br /><br />- smell (despite planned extract system & duct, I do get 'fatty-smells' already since there is already the Chinese Restaurant &take-away on the parade, as well as the kitchens from the Royal Standard pub opposite.<br /><br />- other eateries/commercial food-outlets within 100yd-radius:<br />1.Sun-Ya Chinese take-away & restaurant<br />2.Royal Standard Pub<br />3.H Hirst &Son Bakery (No.12)<br />4.Gambadella cafe (Vanbrugh Park)<br />5.Royal Cafe (Old Dover Rd.)<br />6.Fosters Cafe (Old Dover Rd.)<br />7.Fish &Chip Fish Bar (Old Dover Rd)<br />8.Mr Kebabbies (Westcombe Hill)<br /><br />- litter (it's usual here for non-residents to often hang-around in the access rd. alongside 1 Stratheden Parade, to take drugs, eat fast-food, have sex, urinate etc (loiter?), since it is poorly-lit. It is an 'unadopted road' and as such does not have the benefit of being swept by the council. I regulary have to sweep the access road clear of rubbish.<br /><br />- I consider fast-food take-away not be in the interest of the publics' good-health, or to be in-line with government initiatives on 'healthy-eating'.<br /><br />- noise. It is already a very noisy 'corner' here: loitering outside the pub opposite from 'smokers'; those hanging around the bus stop late at night, particularly after the pub closes.NB the 108 bus runs all night.<br /><br />- Causing hazard. Recently, the access road (alongside No.1 Stratheden Parade)has become a wheel-clamping zone,due to the constant casual parking-up to gain access to the shops on the parade. However, this does not totally deter casual parking-up, but now motorists park on the pedestrian path alongside the wall of No.1 Stratheden Parade. This is a nuicance and also a hazard for pedestrians crossing.<br /><br />I would be most appreciative of any comments and/or support in this matter.<br />Yours<br />Jacqueline Smith<br />jackiesmith1a@hotmail.com<br />NB I do not have a 'google' account.jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684286510682203909noreply@blogger.com
