3 Edna Street, Kingswood NSW 2747

Surely Council will deny this development. We have enough boarding houses in Manning St, Edna Street, Edward Street. I know it has been said many times over the last few years but, surely consideration should be given to long time rate paying owners in these three streets. Council is turning this area into a less than desirable location.

On 13 December 2022 I submitted a comment on Planning Alerts for a child care centre at 12-14 Manning Street, Kingswood for 86 children.
I am now submitting further comments for another Development Application within 100 metres.

The area around Manning, Edna, Edith and Edward Street was a small affordable family friendly area, the majority of residents have lived in this area for 20 years, some as long as 40 plus years.
Listed below are some things that has increased traffic in and around this area in the Seven years from 2015 to the current year 2022;
1. Anglicare Caddens Retirement Village, with 164 dwelling’s,
2. Nine boarding houses within 300 metres of the proposed Child Care Centre, with another 3 to 4 boarding houses approved or propose.
3. Two Child care centre approved in Manning Street, the development application for a third child care centre all within 200 metres. There would have been a minimum Six child care centre built since 2015 around this area.
4. The building of Homes in Cadden, there would be anywhere between 400 to 800 new dwellings.
5. In 2015 Kingswood Primary School had 385 children enrolled and in 2021 there are 544 children enrolled, an increase of 159 children over the six years from 2015 to 2021. With further increase from the new families located in Cadden.
6. New shopping centre at Cadden.
7. There has also been an increase in the number of villa and townhouses built within this area.
In this area there has been an increase by 230 people in Boarding Houses. Traffic movement could be between 80 to 100 per day.
Now with the three-child care centre all within 200 metres from one another, a total 266 child care places. This could create up to 300 to 400 traffic movement a day.
The only access from Edith Street is via Edna Street or Edward Street, then all traffic from these three streets can only exit via Manning Street. There would be about 110 residents in this area
These numbers add to the traffic problem, safety of the children and pedestrians within the area and the destruction of a community.
Is this progress, destruction or just stupidity
