    While it seems like a good location for a boarding house, 6 parking spots is hardly acceptable. The caretaker is likely to have their own vehicle plus a visitor leaving only 4 spaces for 22 rooms in a building not that close to many public transport options.

    How did I miss this one... As Holly Usher pointed out, 6 parking spots for effectively 23 residences in an area with very limited public transport makes no sense. Forsyth pl is a small street and already quite crowded with cars. There's also no parking on the nearest streets (Bettington and Kissing Point Rds). If this is to happen, the car parking situation needs to be addressed.

    Yes, it does SEEM like a good location for a boarding house, but 6 parking spots is hardly acceptable!!! Even if they add an extra 2 parking spots (as I've been told they have) this is still totally unacceptable. 22 rooms - in a building that only has 1 public transport option - plus the fact that there could be up to 40 people residing in those 22 rooms - if everyone has a car..................!!!!!!! Yes, Forsyth Place IS a small street & already quite crowded with cars. There's also NO parking on the nearest streets (Bettington & Kissing Point Rd's). This CANNOT happen, car parking situation is ridiculous, traffic flow will be a nightmare for current 9 houses on the already narrow stretch of council roadway. As it is now, visitors for the current residents find it hard to drive in & out without either having someone run up the back of their car or having to wait for someone else to leave the street or nearly having a head-on with someone who is about to leave the street.
