Sandrock Development: Key Themes for your objection

Key themes from last night's meeting for residents to consider in their objections:

Mention some or all of the following:

• you are local or that you have a particular interest in the area;
• you have looked at the plans;
• population density;
• parking issues and the impact on neighbouring roads;
• viability (or not) of the pub;
• lower standard of living;
• the Place
• the development doesn't look like other buildings in the vicinity.

Look at the post (below) from Monks Orchard RA for more details.

Remember you can make one objection per person, but if you are posting a letter make sure you send it recorded, if you hand a letter in to the Council's offices make sure you get a receipt!!

If you are using the online portal, remember there is a limit of 2000 characters including spaces and new paragraphs. We suggest you compose your response in Word and then paste it online. The portal also times out if you leave it too long.

!! TEMPORARY PARKING RESTRICTIONS - SANDPITS ROAD !!

From:
Mike Barton 
Highway Improvement Manager 
Place Department 

Diban Ltd, on behalf of Croydon Council, will shortly be commencing construction of a structure on the highway at the location/sand date/s below: 

Date: 25th September 2018 -15th October 2018 between the hours of 08:00-17:30 
Location: 5 Sandpits Road 

To enable the Contractor to undertake the works, on-street parking will be suspended during works hours. We also kindly ask that with forward planning vehicular access to and from properties adjacent to the road are reduced to a minimum during the works hours. Pedestrian access will not be affected. 
Advance driver/ resident information boards will be in place before the works commence, advising of the precise dates and times of the road closure. 

Please however note that unforeseen circumstances (e.g. inclement weather conditions) may necessitate a change to the scheduled dates and information on road signs will be changed accordingly. Please check the road signs regularly for any updates 

The construction works will take place outside 5-7 Sandpits Road and due to the nature of these works it is inevitable that some disruption will occur. For this reason it is recommended that where possible you use alternative routes, or allow extra time to complete your journey. 

The on-street parking suspensions that will be in place within the works area are 00:01 on 25th September 2018 until 23:59 16th October 2018. No parking for residents on the highway in the areas covered by the enforcement signs. 

Please note that penalty charge notices (PCN's} will be applied to vehicles parked within the suspended areas during the works hours and/or vehicles relocated. 

Due to the above we would urge all residents to ensure that their vehicles are moved from the suspended areas in order to avoid any delays to the works as well as incurring any charges. 

If your vehicle is relocated please contact the LBC on 020 8726 6000 Ext 52816, who will provide you with an exact . location of your vehicle. 

We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience this may cause residents; however we want to ensure that all works carried out on the Croydon network are to the highest standards to ensure value for our residents. 

Beware Bogus Callers 

Croydon Council does not permit its employees or contractors to undertake work on private property during the course of any scheme. If anyone offers such work they will not be a council approved contractor and should be treated with caution. Any scheme undertaken by a council approved contractor does not require cash payments. 

Cold calling doorstep traders offering to carry out home maintenance work such as driveway repairs and roofing are a problem in Croydon. These traders can be very persuasive and can intimidate you into agreeing to have work undertaken. The advice from Croydon Trading Standards Service is to say "NO" to all cold calling traders - every time. If they will not leave or you get into difficulties, then call Croydon Trading Standards on 020 8407 1311 

Thank you for your cooperation whilst we carry out this essential upgrade. If you require any further information do not hesitate to contact us by email: HighwaysMaintenance@croydon.gov.uk or tel: 020 8726 6000 Ext 52816 .
