1. Hello, parking is a big issue in this very narrow street , not just with residents but with their visitors and friends cars as well . To see an application with five dwellings on one block of land raises alarm bells and will most likely create frustration , anguish and anger in a very tight knit street where most of the residents know each other by name and respect each other's parking spaces close to their houses , please do the ratepayers of this road fair justice when considering this application as a street full of established people is more important than one persons aspirations and profits.

2. I too, am concerned about the effect this development will have on parking in the street. The street is very narrow and is often difficult to navigate. My car has been side swiped recently, as have a number of other cars.The main house at no 26 will have no off street parking and the 5 extra residences will greatly increase traffic in the street. I'm also concerned about the loss of green space. Climate change is causing hotter summers and more frequent heavy rain. We know trees help to absorb heat and green space helps absorb rainfall. It's obvious we need more green space, not less. This development will take away a large private garden reducing the the number of trees considerably. Habitat for native flora and fauna must also be preserved. Trees and green space are more important than ever. I think this development will be a retrograde step.
