Residents say they will live in a goldfish bowl if a planned prison-like block of flats towers over their houses.
They say, with the traffic it would generate, it is too close to a danger junction where a woman was killed just over three years ago.

The planning application is to build 40 flats of up to four storeys at Coombe Valley Road, Dover.

Five members of a network, which sold heroin and crack cocaine in one town, have been locked up.
The group were part of the so-called B line, which made around 60 deals a day in Dover.

This was before its members were among 36 people arrested in early-morning drugs warrants last February.
It is estimated that the B line supplied nearly 5kg of heroin and crack cocaine, worth around £300,000, to drug users between June 2019 and February 2020.
Three members of the group s hierarchy, as well as two street dealers, have now been jailed for their part in the conspiracy.
