Hi there…the objection was submitted on time, but apparently I had to add my address. This was missing so I had to
resubmit.

Hi…apologies, address now included.  
JMS  
Applicant: Mr Jeremy Connell  
We would like to object to this application on the following basis:  
1. This street is almost exclusively AirBnB or B&B's

Page 3

2. There are no pavements or parking restrictions on this road making it dangerous in busy
periods due to the number of vehicles parked on the road. This is a narrow road with barely
room for two cars to pass each other.
3. Residents are now outnumbered by short term visitors with the consequential noise
disruption
4. 2nd home owners are already draining the community out of a small town, where young
or local people cannot afford or are able to find suitable accommodation
5. Most of these 2nd home owners dont even live in the local community. This applicant
lives in London.
6. as residents across from the street we regularly are woken up by noise from
holiday revelers returning to the short term lets from the town centre.  
Many thanks
