Can the owners leave room around the granny flat to plant a tree for shade?
There is precious little shade left on the Peninsula from in-fill development such as villas, town houses and granny flats, not to mention Council's habit of approving non-compliant buildings with insufficient set-backs to give room for a tree or even off street parking.
The Peninsula is now rated as 4 degrees hotter than Pearl Beach from "urban heat island effect" together with Warnervale, Long Jetty and Somersby. Why? There is not enough room left to plant some shade trees, native or exotic.
