Applicant Wood Green Timber Company wants to build three blocks of five storeys, plus one three-storey mews building, at the junction of High Road and Neville Place.
The blocks, which will replace a timber yard, comprise 20 one-bedroom flats, six two-bedroom flats and ten three-bedroom flats.
Concerns were previously raised during a planning sub-committee meeting in June about overlooking, the design and a lack of clarity on affordable housing. The application has now been submitted with no affordable homes.
Around 14 objections have been submitted online, mainly from residents on the neighbouring Trinity Road and Neville Place.
Several wrote the mews building, which will back onto properties on Trinity Road, would lead to an “unacceptable loss of privacy and light” while the project as a whole would increase “congestion”.

Julia Nagle, a business owner on Neville Place, said the buildings would “block out light” and “crowd” the current buildings. She said her business had daily deliveries and collections “by truck” and any “blocking of the road” or “pressure on parking” represented a “major difficulty”.
Oscar French and Rhiannon Morris, residents of Trinity Road, said terraces on the mews buildings would generate “noise and disruption” and criticised the consultation process stating they saw “no evidence” concerns from residents had been “taken into account”.
A couple of residents however, did comment their support, praising the design and showing the prospect of more homes.
