The attention of the Taddyforde Residents' Association has been drawn to the substantial inaccuracy of certain building heights in the plans submitted for the Elmfield Nursery Development (05/0551/03).
It is clear that the height of Streatham Lodge has been misrepresented on the plans and that this has led our members and all other interested parties to believe that the overall height of the development would be considerably lower than is in fact the case. This of course explains why the emerging buildings appear much higher to us all than was expected.
We feel most strongly that we have been denied the opportunity to make objections at the planning stage on grounds of height because we have been misled. We have all been effectively disenfranchised by the misrepresentation.
We also feel that Exeter City Council and the Planning Inspectorate have failed in their duty to scrutinise and review the planning application. Misleading information was presented to the public.
The whole application process, as a result of these issues was, it is clear, flawed. The approval should be set aside now and building work stopped immediately to allow the re-opening of the application.
Yours faithfully
Peter Cobbold (Chair, Taddyforde Residents' Association).
