1. The reason I consider it necessary to reject the application is because it fails to take into account the inadequacy of parking that will occur. I am concerned that the reduction of parking spaces will cause financial detriment to the small businesses/traders located close by, in which case they will suffer. I, myself, am located next-door. Visitors, clients and shoppers may opt to shop elsewhere as soon as areas begin getting closed off in order to renovate.
   There are many spaces at the Bunnings precinct, however it's a long way to walk when customers are picking up, or being assisted with, their heavy/awkward/fragile purchases, which my business almost solely relies on.
   Parking issues could also become a concern for residents and other traders in the area, since there will be more people in the form of visitors,workers, clients, shoppers and traders wanting to park, than there are spaces available. Currently, there is already a limited number of parking spaces prioritised for use by these people. In fact, even though each business has their own designated car spaces they are almost always ignored, in which case they turn into a 'free for all'.
   Compounding these problems is the fact that some bulky deliveries need to be made to my premises and , more often than not, they need to present at the rear entrance and not the front entrance, which is for customers to enter into a shop, where they can freely browse without enduring any annoying and possibly lengthy interruptions, or perhaps even having to clear the way in case of any danger to themselves. This 'danger' may also result in damage to my own merchandise/property. I hope you can understand why I believe that any of these issues will have an unacceptable impact on my business/property.
   Therefore, the deciding factor for my complaint is PARKING, which, I feel will adversely affect my business in some way or another.

2. In addition to my last comment, to exacerbate the problem I have with the stated permit application even further, is the fact that I will be expanding my business in the near future, which will require me to employ extra workers. This, in turn, means that there will be even more people vying for car spaces
