Union Street isn't an anonymous street. It has a variety of small cottages and church buildings; if it was anonymous it wouldn't be a conservation area. The new buildings on the OWCH estate have considerably exceeded the height limit in the plans, and they will now be completely out of proportion with the rest of the street. At least five people have been driven out of the houses opposite the development. It's not a conversion, it's been a very noisy and dirty demolition. I have no objection to the site being built on, but I do greatly resent the fact that my small house will now be dark and gloomy. On the OWCH website there is a slogan about being good neighbours- I'd say more likely, no neighbours. If you drive people out of an area by building an out of proportion estate (yes, its an estate), that's not neighbourliness.
