1. This development should never have been approved. It was done through a private certifier. The large upstairs balcony looks into the backyards of the three houses behind it. We are one of them and we were never sent plans before it was built. The only notification we received was that the existing house was going to be demolished. Nothing about what was going to be built in its place.

2. Loss of privacy in adjoining properties is a serious concern as it impacts on the enjoyment of amenity provided by one's home.

   The balcony should be revisited and Ryde Council should order screening so that overlooking minimised.

3. Houses built with these private certifiers would elevate the house foundation for up to 1.5 meter so it can get the perfect view. (Pls see Orange Street). Residents not only lost their privacy but the sunlight as well. They also elevated the garden bed & timber foundation before putting colourbond fences on, so it will secretly exceed the 1.8 m rule. It became 2.1 to 2.4 m fences. The harmonious neighbourhood & appearance of the street were completely broke down with this type of development.

4. The 1.8m fencing rule is NEVER strictly enforced around Sydney. One wonders what rules are for then. Cowboy builders take full advantage of the slack.
