Disappointing to see yet another application for the demolition of another Federation house and established garden for a commercial venture, which will cause more traffic on this already busy narrow suburban road,

I have lived on Orange st for the last 50 years.
The above application is not suitable as it will cause traffic chaos with being so close to an intersection.Orange street is also too narrow to have cars parked each side of the road as it will only let 1 car pass through at a time.
I ask that you reject this application.

This application for a childcare centre like others that have been recently submitted does not comply with Ryde City Council’s guidelines and is in an inappropriate area for such a large business enterprise.
I would also like to call into question the need for any extra childcare centres on top of the already large number of centres that are existing around this area, the majority of which have vacancies. Half empty childcare centres will have a negative effect for fee paying parents as businesses are created to make money. It just does not make sense to build any more centres, especially these large scale proposals catering to large numbers of children.
Added to this will be the loss of another character home in Ryde which quite frankly needs to stop before it is too late and all links to Ryde’s past are lost.
I object to this proposal for the reasons above.
131 children on this small site?! Imagine the noise that the adjacent residents would have to put up with all day. In addition, there will be delivery trucks coming regularly. There will be huge numbers of garbage bins out for collection. We have an unwanted childcare centre in the street behind our house and the screaming and whining we hear when in our garden is not pleasant at all. This corner house sits well in its streetscape, and a two storey modern structure that replaces it will look out of place. I doubt that the basement parking will cater for 131 cars doing the drop off and pick up during peak times. I fear this is just a money making venture for someone, with no regard for the ambience, or quality of life of the neighbours affected. Sadly, even if Ryde Council rejects it, the Land and Environment Court will likely approve it, as it did the child care centre in Hollis Avenue around the corner.
Child care is definitely too big for orange street.
Orange street cannot even park 2 cars on both side with enough space in the middle for 2 cars to drive pass.
I would like to remind the officer to consider this DA in a developing way not focus on the data they used in the report. With the new CDC rules passed by the Ryde council, it is out of council's control of the new development in our area. it is clear that more and more dual/multipal occupancy properties coming. For example, there are more than 3 duplexes have passed CDC on Orange street or under construction at the moment: a. 15 Orange Street; b. 2 Orange Street; c. 2 Wishart St. And majority of the lands on Orange St are able to be redeveloped by dual occupancy. It is foreseeable that more people will leave on Orange St.
Traffic of Lovell Road is unable to take the extra demand for this huge child care centre. Out of date data has been used in the traffic design report and the report did not reflect the reality of the Lovell Road. Lovell Rd is much busier than before. Traffic congestion happens almost every date during peak hours, especially in the afternoon.
Orange Street is unable to take the extra demand traffic and parking. At the moment, neighbours have to park cars on one side of the street to prevent the street is blocked. This effort taken by neighbours is important especially Rubbish collection truck is working on this street. However, we do not see any change that a non-neighbour staff will make the same effort.
The designed parking space is insufficient. The location of the centre is not within walking distance from the train/popular bus stop. So all the staffs will drive. 12 parking spot for 23 staff is not sufficient. In additional, there will be extra subcontractor and casual staff attend the centre. It is foreseeable that Orange Street will be fully occupied by the staffs from this centre.
The proposed building negatively impacts our beautiful landscape of Lovell Road. We are zoned as low density residential area. However, this proposed centre is commercial like structure. It is so awkward to see such building on Lovell road.
The proposed operation hours between 6.30am – 7pm hours is too long. It is kids’ nature to make loud noise. When a group of kids come together, the screaming noise will be horrific. We would like to have a quite morning so any time before 8am will be no good.
Risk of child centre in this location is very high. As a resident on Orange St, we know that many people drive very fast on the street due to the down slop landscape from north. Even if the speed limit is 50km/h but people drive more than 70-90km/h from time to time. This fact is hard to control by the council but it is council's responsibility to control the risk from this. To avoid approval of a huge childcare centre on a single spot but spread more smaller sized childcare centre in this area is the best way to split the risk.
