"URGENT
ADMIRAL VERNON Planning Appeal for 141-149 Portobello Rd London W11 2DY
Ref App/K5600/A/11/2154885 - Deadline 28th July!!!
In April 200+ people objected to a Planning Application to remove a 15 year old Planning Condition that protects local residents' amenities; by restricting trade in the Admiral Vernon Arcade basement to Fridays & Saturdays only.
The Council supported Portobello by rejecting the Proposal to increase trading days because:
"Local residents have to live with the Market on Saturdays; but during the week are entitled to peace & quiet."
Please Object now to HM Planning Inspector: :
Email address: teamp3@pins.gsi.gov.uk
Quote reference: App/K5600/A/11/2154885
Or Object by Post to:
The Planning Inspectorate
Room 3/19 Eagle Wing
Temple Way House
2 The Square, Bristol BS1 6PN. Quote reference: App/K5600/A/11/2154885.
The basement was dug out in 1995. RBKC imposed Conditions: "The basement market hereby permitted shall be used for trading purposes on Fridays & Saturdays only" Reason: " To safeguard the Amenities of neighbouring properties." The flats above Admiral Vernon are social housing & so is Portobello Court opposite. Local Residents need our support! Admiral Vernon delivery times are also restricted & none are allowed through Vernon's Yard - to protect residents. These Conditions are even more vital now; because far more people live above the shops than in 1995. Other issues include Colville School & Market traffic etc. RBKC'S LDF Core Strategy protects the unique character of Portobello Market. It also protects Local Life, the Legacy of Portobello. Please mention Antiques; but the focus here must be on Residents' amenities. Protecting residents is the best way of protecting the Antiques Market.

Vital issues are the hundreds of local residents' continued right to peace on weekdays; RBKC LDF Policies protect & enhance local life; vitality & character of Portobello Market & the Antiques Market etc. Portobello is a world famous place. There's Colville School nearby & Market traffic etc. Please try to think of other issues. There are lots of people working on this. Thank you again.
