It adds: “The proposal relies on a sub-standard access and an inadequate level of parking” and that “the proposal significantly detracts from and unacceptably impacts on the setting of the grade B1 listed factory building, which is a focal point at the entrance to the City and Historic City conservation Area.”
It also states that the proposal fails to provide a mix of house types and sizes to meet community needs and to create a balanced community.
It adds: “The proposal fails to reflect the location of the site that is on an annual parading route for which consultation with the PSNI is essential.”
The letter goes on to outline these objections in much greater detail.
