                        g)  51363 – Mr Proud – Detached garage to front, 40 Seymour Road, Headley Down – We OBJECT to this application as there appears to be insufficient room to enter and exit the garage.  It is poorly located and prominently located and we are concerned how the construction and weight of parked cars would affect the roots of the nearby tree.
