This site has was purchased on the grounds that council would only issue a 2 per block permit to build. It previously had a single dwelling and due to the new building regulations was restricted to only 2 units. The owner purchased the property knowing this, but has since purchasing allowed the house to deteriorate further, including clearing overgrown garden rubbish and filling the house with it in the hope it would burn down. When this didn't happen, he was ordered by council to clean up the block, so applied for a demolition and land clearance of the land. he has since tried to sell it and is now trying to build 4 units when only 2 were to be allowed. I think the Planning department needs to look into the historical situation of this land. For over 25 years this house was not lived in, so it was in very poor repair. This does not entitle the new owners to build 4 double storey units when council had already rejected this application.

The council has rejected 4 double story blocks so why is this being allowed. This will cause more issues with the streets being overloaded with parking as the new buildings are not catering for enough car parking spaces for each dwelling.
Also the privacy for the dwellings next door may be compromised.
Greed should not be considered as a reason for change of permits. Quality of living over profits for the greedy.
This application has been re-submitted. The owners are still trying to over rule the restriction of 2 units per property and build 4 double storey units. A new application was submitted GE/DP-33925/2020. Objections are required by 18 May 2021
RE: Planning Permit Application #GE/DP-3395/2020 (26, Woornack Road, Carnegie)
As the owner of 1, 25 Woornack Road, I wish to have my objections considered against granting a Planning permit to the proposed development of 4 double story townhouses on the above plot of land.
• Only 2 units are allowable and how can 4 double story houses can be permitted to be built.
I also understand the application for 4 double story houses was rejected by Council previously.
• The owner was fully aware of the limitation on the number of units that can be constructed under the local planning scheme, at the point of purchasing the property.
• Privacy of my house would be compromised.
• Woornack Road, Carnegie is already a very congested street with vehicles parked on both sides of the street. This development would only add to the parking problems experienced by the residents and aggravate the limited space that is available in entering and driving out of the residents’ properties.
• The proposed development would further restricts the free flow of the traffic and causes more delays during peak hours in residents reaching their destinations
In these circumstances, oppose to the proposed Planning Permit being granted by the Council
Thanking Council in advance for considering my view points.
Regards.
Rudra Suntharalingam.
