1. Another development with reduced parking whilst adding to the ever-increasing population density! Properties with insufficient parking should not be approved not just because of the increase in cars but because of what they represent. Other resources will be similarly stretched even if they do not come up in planning regulations.

2. Dear Council
   The applicant is proposing to move one of their bin corrals to the Northumberland Rd frontage. As a Northumberland Rd resident I am strongly opposed to this. Waste management is an ongoing issue in our neighbourhood, and the inability of developments to comply with waste management plans or common decency is leading to an increase in vermin in our neighbourhood. The inability of developments to manage waste is also a pedestrian hazard and an eyesore. These bins must be located away from the street frontage and the development must be required to comply with a waste management plan which council must enforce.
   I am also opposed to the landscaping shown to driveways being replaced with permeable concrete. Firstly, because this has already been done, the units are built and on the market. The developer should be required to deliver what they have represented in obtaining an approval, and not change these plans to suit and then ask Moreland to retrospectively endorse changes. Secondly, this is completely contrary to Moreland's attempts to ameliorate the urban heat island effect. Thirdly, when our driveway was modified by the previous owner of our home, they were required to incorporate landscape strips which they did. The rules should be applied consistently, and the developer can rip out their permeable pavement and start again.
