To whom it may concern,

I would like to make a com­ment on this plan­ning applic­a­tion as the High­land Coun­cil plan­ning applic­a­tion pro­cess online is not receiv­ing com­ments at this time. Why is this the case when com­ments can be received no later than 25^th Feb­ru­ary 2023?

As res­id­ents of Milton Park since 1968, our main con­cern is vehicu­lar access to the devel­op­ment espe­cially for emer­gency and lar­ger vehicles. On the cur­rent applic­a­tion there appears to be only 1 access road into Milton Park, which is nar­row with parked cars along 1 side.

Pre­vi­ously on sev­er­al occa­sions this access road has been blocked, leav­ing no access for res­id­ents, many of whom are eld­erly and disabled.

Our sec­ond­ary con­cern is the major groundwork’s on a very sens­it­ive site affect­ing the sta­bil­ity of the whole area and sur­round­ing old houses. Can there be any assur­ances from the developers that there will be no struc­tur­al dam­age to our properties?

Are High­land Coun­cil able to com­mu­nic­ate with the res­id­ents of Milton Park over our concerns?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Plan­ning sup­port team,

With ref­er­ence to plan­ning applic­a­tion 023/0056/DET.

Hav­ing looked at the amended plans, I still feel some ser­i­ous issues remain.

The prox­im­ity of the pro­posed hous­ing to the closest row of houses Milton Park 48 – 52 (I think) leaves very little access at the rear of these prop­er­ties (Where a path is planned). The width of pre­vi­ous school staff park seems a more appro­pri­ate amount of space and would also help address the ongo­ing park­ing issues in this area. The planned car park­ing spaces may con­form to recom­mend­a­tions but don’t fit with the real­ity of the sporad­ic vehicle park­ing in this area which may be fur­ther exas­per­ated should short term let licenses be gran­ted in the Milton Park area.

This area and it’access is par­tic­u­larly tricky when we have snowy win­ters, which are maybe not as fre­quent as they used to be but cer­tainly about 3 – 4 in the last 10 years have had a lot of snow and the snow clear­ing in this area has relied on the space in this area.

I hope the applic­a­tion will be reviewed and the pos­i­tion­ing of the devel­op­ment reconsidered.

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,
