I am writing to object to the part of the proposals which has two to three-storey dwellings fronting Salmon Lane. Such large buildings in such density will destroy the character of this laneway and be detrimental to that of the whole conservation area.

I am writing to object to the part of the proposals which has two to three-storey dwellings fronting Salmon Lane. Such large buildings in such density will destroy the character of this laneway and be detrimental to that of the whole conservation area. Moreover, unless all vehicular access is from the other side, there will be impossible congestion in Salmon Lane and danger to the pedestrians and cyclists who use it. More dwellings in the area will also increase the number of cars, which already congest the city centre. The best solution would be to put the car park underground and replace it with a green space. Less good, but tolerable, would be one-storey dwellings designed to blend into the architectural environment.
