1. The proposed development is too large and too high. The density will present multiple problems affecting all residents of Prospect Terrace and especially the house below it on the western side.
   Clearly, THERE IS NO MORE PARKING available on our street and there's a huge development going in across the street, as well as one on the corner of Gailey Road. Allowing this massive increase in population is unbalanced and ill-considered for the future amenity of us all. It is not compatible with assurances by council that you wish to maintain the leafy, relaxed appearance of our neighbourhoods. It has already been recognised by the BCC that cookie-cutter townhouses and the like are inappropriate for low density neighbourhoods. Although we are low to medium density, this approval of over twenty new apartments on this site alone is a jump of over 10 times the amount of people and cars here previously. Driving is already risky and congested.
   It would be prudent if council would take into consideration that there are THREE large developments happening on our street which together will impact greatly the amenity of living on this street. There's not enough kerb room for all the bins that need to be picked up on rubbish day, nor enough parking to accomodate the certain overflow of not just guests but residents in this large amount of units which are replacing single dwellings. I would like to see council not limit their decision-making to the individual proposals alone but to consider the impact of all these concurrent developments and the certain devastation of lifestyle, spaciousness and safety of us all.
   thank you,

2. Absolutely agree in fact driving past on Gailey Road today, I made the same comment.
   It is as if the plans are assessed as if on flat ground with standard width or wider roads whereas pockets such as this are anything but that ..!
   Well said and the same applies to lots of other areas that are apparently "planned" similarly with the result appearing to be to destroy the very character and amenity that is valued, or was.

   ALSO- the development sign was not seen by myself nor my neighbors. It certainly wasn’t up for (the required?) 3 weeks. I have a photo of the sight from mid-May in which I cannot see any sign!
