I am totally against the development. We recently moved to Derby Hill and love the privacy our house offers. The development would mean that our garden - and many others - would be overlooked by 22 flats (dragging house prices in the area down dramatically!). A massive block stretching over the length of 5 gardens, towering over the tree line (that is, if there are any trees left by the time the block is built!) and blocking the light would make the whole area feel really claustrophobic. Also many people moved into this area to secure a place at Eliot Bank for their kids, and 22 new families moving in the catchment area are definitely going to compromise their chances. I also feel sorry for the surrounding townhouses and existing blocks of flats (Taymount Grange) as the lovely view stretching over Kent they now enjoy will be completely spoiled. I cannot see anything positive about this development, only too many people trying to fight for light and space on a tiny piece of land: a recipe for disaster and misery.
