If I’m honest at first I thought it was a good idea. However, I have recently changed my mind due to concerns raised from friends. The building would spoil the landscape. A brand new building taller than the bridge and the houses close by. A square in a triangular plot. Of course the store would be convenient, but at what cost?
The following was also discussed:
Yes there is more housing but it never comes down to just housing there are more factors to be considered. You wake up to pollution and noise of trains and cars. You go to bed with pollution and noise of train and cars after a hard days work. When you go onto your balcony you see and inhale car emissions whilst trying to sip a cup of tea.
You look out of your left window and you see train tracks. Then you look out of your right window and you see the tops of houses. You look out of your front window and you see car emissions. You go to the back window hoping for peace and you see cars parked incorrectly and houses which some owners have given up on.
Yes there is double glazing. Double glazing is good but doesn’t have that type of sound prevention. You would be less than 5 metres away from the trains. Triple glazing wouldn’t prevent that. What about all the gunk from trains and their tracks spraying across your windows? If I am not mistaken these negatives all outweigh the positive of a convenience store.
