Dear Sirs
I am just writing to express severe concern about a planned development at 7 Izatt Close, Edge Hill.
As I understand it, there is a plan to put a large four storey development with 22 apartments in this very small close.
This development seems completely inappropriate for the location. My in-laws are in their mid 80s and moved to 5 Izatt Close as a quiet place to enjoy peaceful retirement. It is a short, tranquil sleepy street, backing on to the Centenary Lakes, inhabited by other retired people.
The last thing anyone would want is a giant apartment block right on their doorstep.
There is already no parking available on this curved part of the close. While the developers claim to be putting in some ground floor parking, as you know, in reality most residents and visitors will just try to park in the street, resulting in chaos. Once it is finished, the whole ambience of the Izatt Close will be destroyed by continual vehicles attempting to get in and out.
The constant noise and heavy traffic to the site for years during construction in this small close will likely be unbearable.
Essentially this street is just too small for such a large development.
Would you like your grandparents to have to live next door to this?
Thanks you for your consideration and please don't let this development proceed.

p.s. There is still heaps of empty cane land south of Edmonton to put up apartments.
