BTF response: OBJECT

As our requests to Development Management to post our 01 October 2022 comments have been ignored, we have not choice but to post these links instead:

1. Our comments: https://bristoltreeforum.files.wordpress.com/2022/10/btf-comments.pdf

2. Our BNG calculation: https://bristoltreeforum.files.wordpress.com/2022/10/bng-3.1-calculationbtf.xlsx (we are happy to provide a copy of our .xlsm calculation on request.)

Whilst the biodiversity net gain is still positive, we calculate that the applicant's proposals will achieve a reduced biodiversity net gain of 38.27% for area habitats and a 100% net gain for linear habitats.

However, this will only be achieved if 26 new 26 BS:3936-1 Standard-sized trees are planted to comply with the BNG 3.1 Trading Rules for Urban tree habitats.

As a resident of Monks Park Avenue, I have lived with constant construction over theroad for nearly 20 years. I have also lived with significant difficulty parking on the street outside myhouse (there is no off-street parking) due to the hospital policy of telling staff who live within 3miles to park in the surrounding area. This is also adopted by visitors. If I leave the house at 9 inthe morning, I am unable to return until the hospital shift change at 6pm or thereabouts and theaddition of car parking facilities seemed like a welcome, and sensible respite. To suddenlydiscover that the plan is to build on top of the newly built car park seems firstly like a significantwaste of public money, but also it will reduce the spaces available for staff and visitors to park theirvehicles, forcing them to park outside my house. If the council wishes to include a residents permitparking scheme on Monks Park Avenue then I would support this application. Until such time as asensible solution is provided, I will object.
