Re: Policy PA9 Sutton Gateway(3.i.a): 'The Council will require the building design, form and massing to:
a. have regard to residential buildings on the opposite side of Sutton Road...'

This should be updated to:
'a. have regard to all residential buildings bordering the development.'

It is not just residents on the opposite side of Sutton Road that are potentially affected. In fact, properties to the rear of the Opportunity Site are clearly affected most by any development to the western side of Sutton Road. e.g. residents of Glenhurst Road (to the rear of part of the proposal area) have been in a long-running dispute with the poorly-planned proposal to build 3 and 4-storey flats on the vacant Crown College site (part of Opportunity Site 9). The potential effects of overlooking and loss of light to the properties to the rear of this site must be included in the development considerations.
