1. Please please strongly consider blocking the approval of these plans.

   We have a lovely and quiet little court that we live on and as it used to be a street it already lacks parking and is very narrow. Bringing in such a substantial amount of town houses will almost certainly double the entire populous of the street which is not good for the current residence considering we already lack parking.

   We currently already have to move our cars and put our bins on one side of the road so that the garbage man can REVERSE down our street. Five new bins would need to be wheeled half way down the street to be collected and any extra cars moved etc. This is already a nightmare on our little street but would be even trickier with twice as many people.

   Three stories is also not something that fits in to our community - as our neighbours were blocked from building their family home more than one storey, on the adjoining block it would be very unfair to make their direct neighbours not only five town houses but five 3 storey town houses. The privacy of the adjoining backyards and sunlight available would be severely compromised also. From a planning point of view such a dense housing project in a street full of family one storey homes (and two town houses) doesn't make sense.

   As a small community our entire street of house owners has discussed this and we all agree, we wouldn't be annoyed by two or maybe even three town houses, but five that are three-story is way too much for the infrastructure available. There is not enough parking or access and three storeys on our small one storey street will not fit.

   I hope you will consider this strongly. We are all home owners on this street and we do not welcome a big company jamming as much profit as they can in to a small block at our detriment.

   Please help the good people in this lovely community continue to enjoy this peaceful court for all of the wonderful reasons that we each bought here in the first place.

2. I am opposed to this development of five three-storey ‘dwellings’. It is in direct opposition of the architectural feel and style of Geelong West which is predominately single storey with very few two-storey houses. Three-storeys would stick out like the proverbial sore thumb and destroy the open sky line that we all love in this community. There are no businesses that are three-storey in Geelong West and cramming these dwellings in seems thoughtless and driven by money rather than what is best.
   Also, I am very concerned about the number of properties that would be impacted by a three-storey monolith towering into the sky and blocking valuable sun, light and sky.
   Please do not approve this. Imagine this being next to your home and towering over you. All your sunlight, gone.

3. These developments should not be permitted
   The blocking of sun, light, and space along with loss of other vital needs that occurs
   is a big factor in what we see in our world right now with the ill health of the human race and our precious planet
   Please help us all to prevent this downward spiral
