The letter raised concerns the events would cause issues that would not automatically be addressed as the organiser would not have to reapply to hold them, while the licence could be transferred to another company with different plans in the future.
Park Live Events has applied to the council for a permanent licence to hold these events over one weekend in the park every summer.
He said there were measures in place to address the group’s concerns as the council’s events team would have to approve any new company being able to use the park, while anyone could ask for the licence to be reviewed if they had concerns.
Raver Tots would be held as part of a weekend of events in Old Deer Park in August, and return in future years, if the plans are approved by Richmond Council.
But an objection letter from Old Deer Park Working Group, which represents five residents’ associations, said it would be ‘inappropriate’ to grant a permanent licence for the events.
