WILDING PARK STAND
APPLICATION TO BE GRANTED RESIDENTS’ OBJECTION , The memorial stand at Wilding Park | will be erected 38 feet back from the I park boundary and will comply fully ’ with the by-laws, the City Council was informed by the housing and town planning committee last evening. “In view of this the committee does not feel that it would be reasonable to decline an application,” the report said. Several owners of residential properties on the north side of Woodham road expressed their perturbation over the building proposal in a letter through a legal firm. They feared that if the sunshine was blocked out by the 37-feet high stand their sections would remain wet and frost-bound throughout the winter to the detriment of their health. They had no obj-»c-tions to a stand being erected provioed that it was of reasonable height and did not over-shadow the sections lying • to the south. “Another feature concerning the proposed stand to which our clients object is that it will be of three-storeys and contain accommodation for the holding of dances and other social functions at night," said the letter. “That would in all probability cause a noise nuisance in what has hitherto been a residential area.”
