FROM CRC COMMITTEE - REMIT
We wish to state like our neighbours and other local residents that we are college, education and student friendly. We acknowledge that the campus in some areas falls short of what is expected in 2008 and beyond for our local students. However, the sudden and unprepared impact brought about by the enormity and scale of the proposals unveiled at the ‘Consultation Open Days’ held by the college, have resulted in causing great concern, anxiety and stress to residents.
We believe the mass and density of the proposed redevelopment should have had longer and more profound discussion with the residents of Town Close Ward at a much earlier stage in the scheme and design process. Our remit therefore is to attempt to reduce the scale of the proposals and in order to achieve this at outline stage, we have no alternative but to ask everyone to object to the principle of the development, with a wish to obtaining a refusal from the local authority. This would lead, at a later date, to fuller discussions and consultations with local residents and also those living further afield. We cannot emphasise enough the impact the scale of these proposals will have on the ward. We advise that it is imperative everyone understands the urgency and necessity to voice their objections and concerns correctly within the next few days to the planning authority.
For advice on how to object please go to the” Your Rights to object explained” section on this site

The Committee and other concerned residents might want to consider affiliating to the National HMO lobby which campaigns very effectively around all issues caused by the effects of the expansion of academic institutions on residential areas.
The organisation is often consulted during Ministerial policy reviews, etc and its members are not anti-student per se; rather they seek to have the effects of 'studentification' on neighbourhoods recognised and addressed.
Their website is at http://hmolobby.org.uk/
