Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:The proposed design of this residential development is definitely not in keeping with the surrounding buildings. It would be far too high thus reducing light and privacy to present residents, especially those in Kelbourne Street. It would be more appropriate to erect houses, such as those further up Queen Margaret Drive.

The sunlight in the playparks would be substantially reduced, especially in the Queen Margaret Drive area. From late August this playpark would be completely in the shade. Furthermore both playparks would be very closely overlooked by residents, plus would residents enjoy the cries of delight coming from the children and teenagers?

If this inappropriate design goes ahead - and I sincerely hope it does not - it should be at least 4 stories lower. Comments for Planning Application 20/02110/FUL

Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:As a resident on Kelbourne Street, I am concerned about the impact that the building as it currently stands would have on the surrounding area.

The building is taller than the surrounding flats. It will obscure the open views that we currently have and will undoubtedly block light from the street.

There are not enough car parking spaces for every flat and due to size of flats I would expect some of these flats to have more than one car. We already have a problem with insufficient and dangerous parking in the area.

The drainage in the area is already poor and the street regularly floods in bad weather.

I feel bad the size of the building is much larger than the site can reasonably sustain. Comments for Planning Application 20/02110/FUL

Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:I object to the proposed building of Botanic Apartments at the 10 Kelbourne Street site. I am a resident nearby and use the 'Happy Park' next to the site every day with my children. We enjoy the park with its open outlook and the light and sun you can get there. While there was an expectation there may be a development on the former church site, it is reasonable to expect that it would not be allowed to impose and ruin the experience within the park for many members of the public and our children. The proposed building is not in keeping with the conservation area and does not reflect the buildings around it, or the building it is replacing in terms of character or footprint. Worse than that it is far too high and wide, and would seriously impact the light (and therefore enjoyment of experience) available to both the park and the existing flats opposite. Balconies directly overlook the playpark at close proximity which is also not desirable. The traffic and parking in the area is already terrible, and will again be worse once the new school opens. To put into a plan that there will be 39 flats but only provide 27 parking spaces is absolutely irresponsible and clearly demonstrates the building is too big for the area, and the developer is purely trying to fit as many flats into the space as possible despite the consequences for residents and the wider public. The building will tower over and surround the park and the existing buildings. It should be lower, with fewer flats and parking spaces for each flat provided. Please consider the negative impact on health, safety and wellbeing allowing this application would create. Thankyou Comments for Planning Application 20/02110/FUL

Comment Details Commenter Type: Other Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:The size of the plans do not match surroundings ie original buildings in the area are 4 floors. Why is this build 7 floors ? It will; block light & the open view from my flat opposite, bring noise, pollution & may damage foundations on a mining site (I have heard about Fergus drive). The site is next to a conservation area that should be protected. There is already a large construction taking place (Maryhill school) behind my flat, this plan means more noise pollution, traffic, construction in a small area (incl Fergus drive). I have been informed by a local agent the build will negatively affect my property price. There are not enough parking spaces for the number of units. This means those living/ visiting will add cars to an area already blocked with vehicles. There is a risk to safety of children in the adjacecent play park.

I am not opposed to the site being regenerated but it must be respectful of existing residents in terms of noise, light, obstructing a view. It should be on a far smaller scale to match other tenement flats & the architecture of the local conservation area. Comments for Planning Application 20/02110/FUL

Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:1. The site was home to the former North Paris Church, demolished in 1987 due to subsidence caused by undermining. A visual inspection of the site suggests that the area on the corner between Kelbourne street and Queen Margaret Drive (hereinafter QMD) was the most affected by subsidence. The position of the two rotary holes (Coal Mine Risk Assessment) indicates that the aforementioned area might have not been closely investigated. 2. The development site is located at the edge of the Glasgow West Conservation Area. Because of its footprint, height, scale, massing and density, the proposed building would be overdevelopment of the site and so would not respect its historic context but would detract from the special character of the area. 3. The proposed building would be cramped on limited space and would overshadow the whole neighborhood. It would obstruct to an unacceptable degree the amount of light coming through the windows of, and the level of light inside, existing tenement flats around it. The four-storey of flats facing the gap site in Kelbourne Street will not only suffer a significant loss of natural lights, but also an unacceptable loss of privacy because of the balconies and the rooftop garden. 4. The car park is estimated to have more than 100 daily movements (Air Quality Assessment, 4.4.) leading to an expected significant impact on the on traffic and on the local ambient air quality at nearby residential areas. Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 places a statutory duty on local authorities to periodically review and assess the air quality within their area. This involves consideration of present and likely future air quality against air quality standards and objectives. The impact on air quality of the proposed development should be assessed not only against the present situation but should also consider the cumulative impact of the ongoing nearby developments (primary school in QMD and Flats in Fergus Drive).

Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:I do not object to flats being built on this site but I object to the plans as they currently stand.

The proposed building is not in keeping with the surrounding buildings because of its height and will appear to tower over the others. The plans compare the height of the flat roof with the highest point of the neighbouring pitched roofs, but this is disingenuous because from ground level the sloping roof is mostly not visible to the observer, so the difference between the two will be even more marked.

There would be increased traffic congestion and pressure on car parking (even with the basement garage and restrictions on permits) in the vicinity of the play park. Congestion is already a problem here.

There would be much increased shadow on the play park, which would impair the enjoyment of the many park users.

Eleven mature or semi-mature trees would be removed. Seven of these are categorised as B (in the arboricultural appendix defined as trees "whose retention is considered desirable"). It is unclear what their replacements would be (only 10 are marked on the landscape plan). This neighbourhood is already suffering biodiversity loss as it has recently lost mature trees because of the new primary school and the flats being built on Fergus Drive.

Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:These flats will create significant overcrowding in Queen Margaret Drive. QMD is allegedly going to become a traffic calming area. This new development makes a mockery of that. The flats are not even much needed social housing. Although the flats have parking spaces, it is only for one car. Many/ most families will have 2 cars. This means it will make it difficult for people who already live in the area to park. This area is already incredibly busy full of cars going up and down towards Byres Road and Maryhill Road. This development will make it even worse. It is near a Conservation area and in an important tourist area - a lovely area of the west end. You already allowed flats off Fergus Drive. It overlooks a playpark a really important amenity for parents and children in the area. It is much too tall, blocking sunlight. There are for too many flats.

Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:Having considered the proposed plans, at five to seven stories high the development will entirely overshadow the surrounding tenement buildings. Most of the light in my property comes from the front windows (diagonal facing 10 Kelbourne Street) and this will be lost with a building of this size.

More concerning is the impact this development will inevitably have on traffic and parking. The junction leaving Kelbourne Street to join Queen Margaret Drive is already difficult to navigate at the best of times due to the angles creating poor visibility of oncoming traffic, regular flooding during bad weather and generally the number of cars parking in the area. This is a very busy pedestrian area with many children frequenting the play park and North Kelvinside Meadow. With a new school being built ~200m along Queen Margaret Drive, I expect that traffic levels and number of pedestrians will increase further.

Furthermore, there are plans to only provide parking for a percentage of residents in the new development. Given that multiple car households will likely inhabit these apartments, this will only further worsen the already difficult parking situation in Kelbourne Street. Since Byres Road introduced paid/permit parking, the number of commuters who park in our streets for free and walk to work/walk to the subway has significantly increased meaning we regularly have cars dangerously parked on junction corners and residents often have to park several streets away from their homes. The development will also undoubtedly render a good amount of parking space unusable during the building process to allow for works access. Unless there is plans to implement permit parking in the surrounding streets, I just do not see how this will work. Comments for Planning Application 20/02110/FUL

Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:The proposed development raises a number of issues.

1. The six story part of the development is outsized and not in keeping with the closest buildings - the tenements on Queen Margaret Drive and Kelbourne Street, in particular - nor the built environment of the surrounding area. While the height seems to have been aligned with the newer build on the opposite side of Queen Margaret Drive (hosting e.g.Tesco), the proposal does not enjoy the same space around it or the size and height offered to the rear (from Oban Drive as it climbs the hill). The proposed development is on a flat space of land, which it will thus dominate to a greater extent. At the rear, despite the lower elevation, the development will be considerably higher than existing properties on Mingarry Street. There should be further reflection on the impact of such a development on the surrounding area in terms of the quality of life for residents of nearby properties (light, atmosphere, etc) as well as the existing quality of the built environment. A further consideration is the impact on the playground in terms of access to natural light. This is one of the few playgrounds in the area and extremely well-used. Its quality should not be compromised by the development.

2. The second issue relates to the insufficient parking provisions. In an area where residents already struggle to find spaces, any new developments should be self-sufficient in terms of parking spaces per property. Quite simply the surrounding area cannot cope with more cars looking for spaces.

3. The third issue relates to broader changes in the local area. Given the development on Fergus Drive, along with the new school, has due consideration been given to the competing and increasing uses of space in the area? Does the area really need a further increase in population and car use so close to a playground and school?

On these grounds, I would hope that the council seeks major adjustments to the plans before giving its approval Comments for Planning Application 20/02110/FUL

Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:To whom it may concern,

I am writing regarding the proposal to erect a 39 residential unit with associated parking at the former site of 10 Kelbourne Street. I would like to object to this particular development plan for the following reasons:

- The popular play park used by many across the city will be overshadowed. There will be a vast amount of light lost. - The proposed flats are taller in height than surrounding buildings. They will overlook properties and a loss of privacy will ensue. I am sure that both parties would not want to be able to see into either home. - The view from flats on Kelbourne Street will be affected. This could also affect natural light. - I am concerned about the loss of car parking space on Kelbourne Street due to this development particularly with the carpark entrance being on this street. This may make driving in the area hazardous and generate more traffic in what is already a busy area. - The rooftop area on the proposed flats may cause noise disturbance directly into the flats across from it. - The trees that are within the playpark may need to be trimmed or even cut down to facilitate the building of the proposed flats. This will impact of the appearance of the park and area in general. - The visual impact of the proposal is a bold statement and not in keeping with the tenement character which is found in the neighbourhood.

I hope that the Council will take on board these concerns and the objection to the current development proposed.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Rebecca Brown

Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:A. Residential visible amenity. One glance at the drawing of the proposed building clearly shows that it it would be so disproportionate in size and density in relation to the existing tenements on the other side of lower Kelbourne Street that it would affect the visual amenity of the flats in those tenements. That is not an objection based on the "right to a view" but on the wider planning principle that the visual impact of a proposed development on the residential amenity of private property by virtue of proximity, size and scale would render that property so unattractive a place to live that planning permission should be refused. Currently, the lower part of Kelbourne Street has four-storey tenements of flats which look onto a children's play park and the empty site of a demolished church on the other side of the street. There are no buildings on that other side. The proposed development would be visible from the rooms which constitute the principal living spaces in the majority, if not all, of the flats in the tenements opposite. The visual impact of a development of the magnitude proposed would be so dominant that it would affect the living conditions of those flats not only in terms of their view but also would encroach on their current enjoyment of natural light, rendering them an unattractive place to live. Kelbourne Street faces north and, therefore, has excellent natural light during daylight hours. It is acknowledged that the proposed site of the new building is currently derelict and an eyesore. It is no answer, however, to clear one eyesore only to replace it by another eyesore in the form of a disproportionately large apartment building which is not in keeping with the surrounding architecture. B. Social amenity: The area containing the children's park and the site of a relatively small church (now demolished) is an open space which acts as a vital escape for the occupants of the residential flats surrounding it, most of which have no garden.

Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:The play park is an important amenity for the parents and children and older people living in those flats. The park is relatively small but its size is relieved by the open area adjoining it. When that space was occupied by the church, the size, shape and nature of the building and its grounds were in harmony with the park, both purposely and visibly. They were not intrusive. In contrast, a large building of even more flats sharing that limited open space with the play park would seriously detract from the enjoyment of the users of the park seeking to escape temporarily from the confines of their own flats. The erection of such a building would be a serious deprivation of social amenity. B.2. The same area also could also said to be an enclosed space (like a piazza), surrounded as it is by residential buildings. I am sure that the original intention was to preserve that space as a public square. The proposed development would be the very opposite of what was intended. It would be a block of flats built on the centre ground which was meant to be the "breathing space" of the community. Not only would a substantial part of that centre ground be lost but also the new building would detract visually and purposely from what remains of it. That indeed would be a sad paradox.C. Overshadowing The proposed building would be far too large for the area on which it is was constructed. It would be cramped on limited space and would overshadow the whole neighbourhood. It would obstruct to an unacceptable degree the amount of light coming through the windows of, and the level of light inside, existing tenement flats around it. D, Traffic and parking D.1. Kelbourne Street and neighbouring streets already have an immense parking problem. Queen Margaret Drive (QMD) is subject to parking restrictions. The proposed building would have 27 parking places for 39 apartments, It cannot be assumed that every apartment would have only one car. Even if that were the case, Comments for Planning Application 20/02110/FUL

Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:D.2. a) There is difficulty turning right from Hotspur Street on to QMD. This is because of the blind left bend on QMD where the new development is proposed to be built. If the building were to exist it would only add to the difficulty because of its size. b) There is difficulty turning right or left from Kelbourne Street on to QMD. On turning right, this is because of traffic coming down the hill from Maryhill Road, often at great speed and the existence of the above mentioned bend which obstructs the driver's view. The corner of the proposed building on Kelbourne Street and QMD would further obstruct the view and aggravate the difficulty. On turning right, the cars and vans parked on QMD obstruct the driver's view of traffic coming up from Byres Road/Great Western Road. The volume of traffic attempting to exit from Kelbourne Street would be increased by the number of vehicles pertaining to the proposed development(whether from basement or on- street parking would add to the difficulty. E. Drainage Kelbourne Street, particularly at the corner of QMD, is a site with consistent and considerate flooding. As all the connecting roads are inclined and gather at a lower point here, when there is heavy rainfall the water collects in the area and cannot drain away quickly enough, especially if drains are blocked by debris. This has resulted in the fire brigade being called on several occasions to assist with danger and issues of access for local residents, properties, businesses and pedestrians. Drainage trucks have had to be employed to clear the road of excess water several times a year, even after the drains have been reset twice in the last 10 years. Adding more strain to this area would undoubtably exacerbate this already problematic situation. Any current water damage to the drains and foundations of the existing properties would need to be carefully examined and assessed, particularly as there have recently been sinkholes appearing in adjacent streets.

Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:I would like to strongly object to the application as it currently stands on two main grounds.

1.Appearance and residential amenity:

The development site is located at the edge of the Glasgow West Conservation Area. Along the new development on Fergus Drive and the new school on Queen Margaret Drive, the area is at clear risk of becoming extremely overdeveloped, detracting enormously from the protected character of the area which is of huge benefit to tourism, local businesses, and the city of Glasgow as a whole.

The scale and height of the proposed development, which would stand much higher than the tenement buildings on either side (Kelbourne / Hotspur streets) would significantly detract from the area's appearance, creating a feeling of overdevelopment and claustrophobia on this already- crowded patch of road.

The scale and height would also cause loss of privacy, overshadowing and unacceptable restriction of natural light, particularly for the four-story tenements on Kelbourne Street but with overshadowing affecting buildings on all four sides of the plot.

2.Traffic, pollution and parking

According to section 4.4 of the Air Quality Assessment, the car park is estimated to have more than 100 daily movements. This would have an impact on traffic levels in this already-congested area as well as air quality. With the cumulative impact of the two developments already mentioned it feels there is a high risk to air quality standards and objectives in the area.

The development will also increase the issues with on-street parking in the area, as the development does not plan for a suitable number of parking spaces for the number of parking spaces for the number of apartments. Also, several on-street parking spaces will be lost to provide access, which will also cause congestion and potentially highly dangerous situations at the busy junction of Kelbourne St and Queen Margaret Drive due to its positioning.

the properties to be notified (as listed in the planning proposal) did not include the relevant numbers in Hotspur Street (nos 6 -18) - i.e. the properties that will be looking across at this unattractive feature which will seriously compromise their open outlook over Queen Margaret Drive. Neither, apparently, were any planning notifications posted on lampposts around the district, as per the norm.

both the scale and design of this 7-storey building are completely incongruous with the surrounding 4-storey sandstone properties and their attractive surroundings. The height of the building is also inappropriate to the existing residential properties and severely detrimental to the views of residents across from this development, particularly those in Kelbourne Street.

it will dwarf and overlook the children's play area, in addition to literally overshadowing this south- facing park.

it will require the removal of yet more trees from the Queen Margaret Drive area (already substantially reduced to accommodate the new primary school and the Fergus Drive development).

for a city that's trying to reduce dependence on the car, why install a basement parking level for 27 vehicles? If that was removed, perhaps the height of the building could be reduced and prospective buyers encouraged to walk or cycle. But, if that is no longer an ambition, the converse would be that 27 parking units are too few for 39 properties, in an area that is already suffering from a surfeit of parked cars.

finally, it's distressing that the city council feels the need to fill up any vacant space, of whatever size, with these characterless apartment 'blocks'. Presumably money must be the motivator but surely some imaginative input could improve on these homogeneous new-builds. Comments for Planning Application 20/02110/FUL

Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:This proposal removes all accesss to sunlight in the children's park. This park is extremely popular and, currently, covered in sunlight. The building will leave it complete in the shade. There is currently extremely limited parking in the area and very busy traffic. The addition of another block will make bad situation even worse. Comments for Planning Application 20/02110/FUL

Comment Details Commenter Type: Public Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:I object to the proposed building of flats at 10 kelburn street, the old church grounds. The play park would be over shadowed from sun and light, the parking in this area is already highly problematic and these flats would add to that issue, it would change the proportions of the area and block views for some and be over seen by others.

A new school is being built up the road, this land should used as additional to the play park for facilities/ refreshments to support the park. I use this park and do not want the sunshine blocked from it or it being directly overlooked by people in their flats a 5 metres away.
