1. I Stephen Cook of 17 Kerley Crescent, Athelstone, as an adjoining land owner to 16 Kantilla Drive, have concerns to the proposed subdivision and make the following submission.

   It is becoming very apparent that many developments involving the subdivision of land have a number of adverse impacts as follows:
   - loss of natural landscape character through destruction of flora and fauna.
   - overcrowding and insufficient parking overspilling onto road and cycle ways.
   - Loss of privacy and natural lighting to neighbouring properties with buildings or structures on or close to lot boundaries.
   - reduce value and appeal of surrounding properties by permitting a suburb to become densely populated through ongoing subdivision.

   Furthermore, the neighbouring property to 16 Kantilla Drive which is opposite the creek, has also received approval to subdivide which in effect increases the likelihood of all the above mentioned impacts taking effect. The area will be overcrowded and natural vegetation and habitat could be lost forever to allow for the construction of any new development designed to fit in the small footprint of the subdivisions.

   I request that development approval is carefully considered whereby approvals prevent the pruning or removal of the creek trees so as to protect areas frequently home to many koalas and to retain Athelstone's natural leafy character.

   I would object to another subdivided property adjacent to another one which is on opposite sides of a creek. I believe preventing the adverse impacts of subdividing listed above to far exceed a developers ultimate goal of maximising profit from a subdivision to the detriment of the area. I would like to see that we retain the beauty and spread of properties within this suburb with designs that fit in with the existing surrounding properties. This would mean preventing subdivisions that are 2 storeys high and destruction of natural flora along the creek.
