1. I object to this development being built as per the current proposal/current presentation. There are already four blocks of apartments under construction at the address, 126 Herring Road, Macquarie Park. It is not stated that this application is to replace a previous application. The front one is already built. The others are very close to each other giving minimal privacy.
   My concern is that these developments have been sold off the plan and/or are currently for sale. It seems strange to be putting in a new application without reference to existing built and approved apartment blocks for this overcrowded site.
   The proposed parking of 221 car spaces is inadequate as it only allows for one car space per apartment, plus visitor's parking of 23 spaces. Those visitors spaces are further reduced to give spaces to the ground floor retail's staff and their visitors. Their should be 40 visitors car spaces for the apartments - at one carspace per 5 apartments plus the retail requirements.

   If the retail attracts no visitors and requires no parking, then there is a shortfall of 17 visitor car spaces. This would increase up to 25 visitors spaces lacking when including visitors parking for the retail ground floor. The cumulative impact of this inadequate provision of visitor carparking multiplied by the existing four high rise apartment blocks can easily get to 100 car spaces not provided by the developer. There is no parking on busy Herring Road and there will be long waits to egress the site at 126 Herring Road, Macquarie Park.
