From: To: Developmentmanagement Cc: Subject: Planning Application No: 17/04940/FUL Date: 07 August 2017 10:10:48 Attachments: Planning application.pdf

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Kerri Harmer, I am the resident at 14 Kings avenue Corsham SN13 0EF. I am writing in regard to a Wiltshire Council planning application made by my next door neighbour at 12 Kings Avenue Ref: 17/04940/FUL http://unidoc.wiltshire.gov.uk/UniDoc/Document/Search/DSA,876143 This is an application for a new house to be constructed between my neighbours house and mine. My concern relates to the reduction in the level of daylight and privacy which my house will receive as a result of this proposed development. The depth of the new house will exceed that of the garage which is currently in the same position, and will extend several metres alongside my south-west facing back garden, thereby blocking the natural light and leaving much of my garden in shadow. There is also to be a first floor landing window which will overlook my garden and reduce the level of privacy to the property and to my family.

As it is, there are tall trees along the back of my garden belonging to another neighbour which reduce the amount of light which my garden receives. I understand that some of these trees are protected. This being the case, any further reduction in the level of light to the garden would have a considerable impact and leave the majority of my garden in shade for much of the day. Please find attached photographs of my garden and its surroundings to illustrate my concerns. The photographs show the views from my garden in a clockwise direction, beginning with the view from the rear of the house towards the end of my garden and turning towards the direction of the proposed development. Where the wooden fence and shed are visible is where the proposed house would be extend back to. As you can see, the proposed development would have a significant negative impact on the light and privacy which my garden currently receives. The area in the above photograph is where the two storey house will be built, according to the plans. Obviously, it will be very near to the boundary between the two houses, which will block a great deal of light.

I have discussed this matter with GreenSquare and have copied them in to this email for their information.

Thank you in advance for noting my objections.

Yours faithfully,

Kerri Harmer
