Planning Application by Sammy Dow’s

I have been asked by a resident on Moray Place to post their objection to Sammy Dow’s latest planning application (the Strathbungo Society is looking for a new web administrator who could add people to the system – an opportunity at the AGM!). They are leafleting other local residents around the pub and suggest that people who wish to object to the proposal could adapt or use extracts from their objection which I have added as a link below. Their advice is if you want to do this: 1. Include your name and address; 2. Include the planning reference and property address; 3. Do personalise the objection to emphasise the impact the proposed development will have on you.

The current application from Sammy Dow’s is very similar to previous applications which have been objected to by the Strathbungo Society which intends to submit its own objection before the deadline on Tuesday.

    So after receiving the objection letter today and seeing the problems it may cause i can say that these problems seem a little small to be objecting to a business that could improve the local area. First of all the outdoor smoking/drinking area may do more good then harm considering it might drive away the hundreds of drug user and dealers that that particular lane deals with, i literally cant walk down that street past 8 without seeing people dealing/using or general drug objects laying around. Secondly, the smell complaint. Considering the backlanes smell absolutley terrible due to rotting waste a kitchen vent would actually mask the awful smells.Thirdly the complaint about loading/unloading, every second day i walk my dogs down the back lanes we have gardening trucks. I dont see how adding some deliveries at off peak hours would cause any issues.

    Last and certainly not least. Im going to tell a wee story about the person who handed me those leaflets.
    So at the start of summer me and my girlfriend were taking a stroll with the dogs down the backlanes to head to sainsburys when we saw a chap standing in the middle of the backlanes just staring at us. We just ignored it being Glasgow and all. We got past him (the guy who handed me the objection leaflet) and continued on, got our shopping and then headed back. There he was still standing there staring at us the entire time, i assumed he was lost or something so i asked him if i could help in some way. These EXACT words came out of his mouth.
    “who the f**k do you think your talking to” along with a stream of swearing and after we tried to walk away from the situation he followed us down the lane almost to our flat.
    Now i dont know if he’d been like me spotted all this drug dealing in the lanes and was on some sort of watch duty and somehow. someway assumed we were a part of it but the only thing i’d say in my mind ever made me feel unsafe in this community was the guy aparently trying ti “improve” it.
