Proposed redevelopment of Clarendon House is going to Planning Cttee on Wed 24 July. We're asking the Committee to reject due to overdevelopment (2.4x larger),excessive scale massing, loss of daylight sunlight, loss of trees, privacy, noise more @greenarteries @cambridgeindy

This 5 storey building, 21.8 m tall, would tower over houses opposite in Clarendon Rd #Cambridge & would affect hundreds in neighbouring Kaleidocope flats, with overlooking, loss of light & privacy. Object now: applications.greatercambridg… ref: 24/00889/FUL @CambridgeIndy @BBCCambs

The developer's Environmental Impact Assessment screening report (Oct 2020) estimates 450-520 HGV movements solely to construct an underground car park. (p 14). Excavating the basement containing asbestos needs specialist treatment to protect human and environmental health.

We raised the issue of asbestos in Lockton House on 21 February 2021, and said that if demolition is permitted a written condition should be imposed that the work be carried out by a specialist asbestos removal company, to avoid significant danger to health from released fibres.

The adverse environmental impacts of these major proposals, including contamination risks from known asbestos, traffic congestion, air pollution, water supply/over-abstraction and the demolition process itself, add weight to the argument for an Environmental Impact Assessment.

The three proposed replacement trees for the south west corner, T9 Liquidambar styraciflua, T10 Pinus nigra (black pine) and T11 Liriodendron tulipifera (tulip tree), will not adequately mitigate the loss of canopy cover, as two of them lose their leaves in winter (T9 and T11).

The hedge of copper beech 80cm high in troughs along the southern elevation wld not be appropriate replacement planting; a)these lose their leaves in winter & b)they are boundary treatment rather than substantial trees, showing how close Block B would be to the southern boundary.
Would this preserve or enhance the Brooklands Avenue Conservation Area? These 2 massive office blocks would have a negative effect on the Grade II listed Royal Albert Homes on Brooklands Ave & other 2 storey houses in Clarendon Rd, esp. in terms of residential amenity. #Cambridge
Would this preserve or enhance the Brooklands Avenue Conservation Area? (We adjusted shadow & contrast levels to show what Block B would look like behind the Victorian terrace). Block A would extend over 40m back from Brooklands Ave, linking up with taller, overbearing Block B.
ALT Block A would extend more than 40m back from Brooklands Avenue at the end of the Victorian terrace, linking up with the overbearing, dominant Block B on Clarendon Road behind.

Clarendon Road & Brooklands Avenue are narrow roads. There are no loading bays on Clarendon Road outside Lockton House for deliveries or taxi pick-ups/drop offs.With the existing Lockton House, deliveries are made on site,avoiding potential conflict with pedestrians and cyclists.
