The demolition of the current property would result in the loss of a individual character bungalow.

Although the council will inform immediate neighbours you may want to inform a wider number of residents so a strong response in opposition to the development is put to the council. The proposed development will cause inconvenience to residents in both Canonbie and Netherby roads with demolition / foundation digging equipment and lorries, building material, concrete lorry deliveries and workmen.

A part three and four storey building would be totally out of character in the road, although with the recently built flats with balconies further up and across the road may already have set a precedence.

When 40 - 42 Canonbie was converted from two houses into 11 flats, this caused 18 months of disruption to those in the vicinity. Since then the flats with the exception of two are rented. This results in an extremely transient population, an excess of cars with insufficient parking on the road, noise, population and general inconvenience. This ws also sold to a property developer.
