9 Park Street, Wollongong NSW 2500

9-11 Park St, Wollongong 2500. DA-2019/1356

I Ashley Miller of 4/13 Park St, Wollongong OBJECT to this application for the current reasons.

SUNLIGHT

As this new development will be on the north of our building this will shade my townhouse from 12 noon for the rest of the day in winter. My townhouse is already shaded from 16 Church St until around 11am. This will leave us with 1 hour of sunlight per day. With almost all windows facing north this will make a dramatic difference. This will not only make it cold and dark but a problem of mould and moisture may also occur.

EXCAVATION

With the new development planning to have 2 level basement parking I believe a very deep hole will need to be dug in the ground. I am worried this will affect the foundations of our building. With us being on the higher side of the hill I feel it would be possible for our building to slightly slide towards the excavated area. Causing cracking and movement to our foundations and brickwork.

PARKING

With the new development housing up to 15 units this will put a lot of stress on street parking. There is lucky to be any parking on the street at the moment. Let alone with all these possible extra residents. Through the construction period there probably won't be any parking for residents. If any at all.

HEIGHT

8 stories is an unreasonable height for this street. With a building at 6 stories on our South we will be completely engulfed by 2 taller buildings. All other buildings in the street are 4 stories or less. This 8 story monstrosity just doesn't fit in with the street landscape/environment.

NOISE

Noise is obviously a factor of all construction sites. It's something that is going to happen no matter what. The problem is with a job this size this noise will go for an unbearably long amount of time. With infants, new mums and pets in this area they may be forced to stay elsewhere during the day for an extended period of time.
