The majority of objections relate to parking and the impact that a popular pool will have on Thorpewood Avenue.
The transport statement produced as part of the application does imply that parking will not be a problem, with plenty of parking within a 250m distance from the site. The highways department representative said that there would be a CPZ consultation in Thorpewood and Derby Hill once the pool is opened to see if residents want to reserve their parking places in the road.

There were some other concerns expressed about some aspects of the design, in some cases the architects seems willing to make some minor amendments (particularly improving the south facing wall in a future application), in other cases they were unwilling or unable to make any changes.

The meeting only lasted for an hour, which was not really long enough to properly discuss the concerns.
