• PRIMROSE Hill Conservation Area Advisory Committee has already raised the issues you reported on in response to the Centric Close planning application (Neighbours in battle against courtyard flats, February 16).

The PHCAAC’s advice is supportive in general of the plans but it formally objects, as follows: “We have raised problems of overlooking of existing habitable rooms in the houses in Oval Road and are not satisfied that this has been adequately addressed. This is one of the grounds on which we formally object to the present application. The habitable rooms in the four-storey block look directly into habitable rooms in the Oval Road houses. We have also raised questions about sunlight and daylight, and are not reassured by the analysis which accepts that there is loss to existing habitable rooms. We formally object to loss of daylight and sunlight to existing habitable rooms in the conservation area.”

We therefore wish to support the understandable worries of the Oval Road residents.
