    I have reservations about a service station being built at this address. There are some not far around the corner on South Road and one on Seacombe Road. What happens to the land when the service station closes like the one that opened briefly on the corner of Springbank and Ayliffes Road? The increase in vehicle traffic to an area that has a large amount of school foot traffic is also undesirable as well as late night trading that could encourage some increase in undesirable activity. Please really consider the affect this could have on the neighbouring houses as well as small businesses.

    The traffic around this location is already horrendous for residents. The large amount of subdivides off of these 2 roads in recent years has seen the traffic increase to dangerous levels with many near miss crashes. There are so many servos near this area it is not needed here and someone is reaching to suggest this fits in with the development plan. It simply does not! Stick to the plan and approve a suitable development for the location.

    Theres already 2 service stations at Darlington (think there used to be 3) around the corner and one on Seacombe Road & at Brighton not far away & on Marion Road at Mitchell park theres 3. Diagonal Road is very busy & i can see this being a problem accident wise as well as Miller Street. If i lived near here i would be very angry with the extra traffic & noise it will create. I live not far from here & surely it can be designated for another purpose other than another service station.

    There is no 'need' by the community for a further petrol station. If the Council looks locally, they will see there is already one on Seacombe Rd, two on South Rd, one on Sturt Rd, and three on Marion Rd all very close proximity to this site.
    The split in the road, road traffic crossing the 'Y' junction is enough at the moment, putting in this eyesore is not required. If its services were required, it would be a different matter.
    We are also covered very nicely in the area for shops and car washes and dog washes too.
    There is no need for this.

    If they are putting in a service station with consistently low fuel prices like United or X Convenience, then I welcome the addition. I live in Seacombe Gardens. Since the removal of the service station on the corner of Morphett and Sturt Road, now the nearest servo to me is 2.2km away. Whilst some are saying there are plenty of service stations nearby, none of them are in walking distance from where I live.

    This Andrash Developments (X Convenience) application has already been refused by the independent Council Assessment Panel on 2 September 2020, as it failed to meet the relevant planning criteria. Andrash has lodged an appeal in the ERD Court, and sought direct intervention by the SA Planning Minister to over-ride Council. Andrash is not interested in the significant community opposition to this unnecessary and misplaced development. Developments of this kind should be restricted to commercial / industrial areas. This development should not be permitted in a residential area that is classified as a Neighbourhood Centre Zone. The enduring damage Andrash will do to this neighbourhood is completely unacceptable. The development should not proceed. Andrash should not be allowed to breach planning law and regulations that apply to everyone else.

    I have concerns about construction of a service station at this location. It is already a dangerous intersection, and with a major retail service station located there the problem will be further exacerbated.
    There are already plenty of service stations in the nearby area.
