    This ill considered and myopic development should

    1. The proposed development does not recongnise the storey height of the adjacent historical buildings
    2. The proposed development does not recognise the setback patterns alignment with adjacent buildings (front and rear)
    3. Solar access into Hutchinson Street apartments will be significantly reduced in breach of minimum impacts and and shadow impact diagrams in the development have not been carried out on an hourly basis by developer
    4. The development has been built beyond maximum allowable height of 18m and thermal gain to Hutchinson St apartments will be impacted
    5. Visual privacy will be reduced with windows facing directly into Hutchinson St apartments with minimal (less than 7 metres) of distance; privacy of children is a concern with views directly into bedrooms (given floorplans of Hutchinson St apartments);
    6. Proximity of development will also impact acoustic privacy and industrial components (traffic / waste management) will take place within the 7 metre proximity zone mentioned in point 5

    In summary, existing property holder rights are being unfairly impinged by this development - the disregard of setback requirements, height and proximity will adversely impact the quality of life for property owners and their children in the adjacent streets.

    All property holders agree that a smaller and more sincerely thought out development is required and are willing to lobby vocally should our council not understand its ratespayers' interests in this regard.

    Best,
    Josh
