1. Hi, we are the next door neighbours and have a few concerns regarding this development which we hope will be addressed for its approval.

   1. Parking.
   We have no driveway or garage on our property and rely on off-street parking. Currently, we are usually able to park our 2 cars in front of our house, but on weekends and holidays, the extra influx of visitors often creates a parking problem for us. With the additional units, there will be additional cars per household and including visitors, we may struggle to find parking along our street.

   2. Overshadowing
   We are worried that 2 storey units will cause significant overshadowing over our house. At the moment, we do not get as much light from our living room windows because No. 5 is built slightly higher than our house, but we do enjoy a bright backyard. With the additional dwellings, our backyard will be overshadowed by the taller town houses.

   3. Privacy
   Our 2 year old enjoys playing in the backyard so we spent lots of time there as a family. We are concerned about our privacy if there are overlooking windows, even if they are frosted or opaque.

   4. Security
   Our side entry door is not very wide and it is currently attached to the fence. Already due to the age of the fence, it has already leaned over to our side, so the door doesn't close so well. We are a little concerned about the security of our property if the fence moves even further during the building process.
