1. My wife and I would like to make a submission in regards to the proposed development of 5 Birkwood Close Charlestown DA100/2016.
   We would like to state our disappointment in the Council with what seems to be deception in regards to development application.
   In rezoning documentation sent to us it was stated that there would only be 5-7 houses, only selected trees to be removed leaving a Green Buffer Zone between the new houses and the fences of the existing houses.
   In new DA there are 10 houses, with 2 being multi residential and all trees removed.
   Our main bedroom is at rear of house and we fear we will lose privacy and noise will increase when houses are built down near our property.
   The loss of trees will affect the birdlife and animal life that currently live in the area, it will impact on the outlook from our back yard and it will remove what is now a current sound barrier.
   We will also loose the recreation benefits of the bushland and oval that was offered to us and other residents in the area by ST Mary's High School.
   We read in Mr Oscar Aguiar submission letter to this current DA that there was a letter drop and a subsequent meeting involving owners of the properties impacted by this development. Not having received this letter we missed the opportunity to attend this meeting.
   While my wife and I do not completely disagree with some of the development, it would appear that the council has sugar coated the zoning application to have this approved and presented something completely different as a DA.

   Sincerely
   Glenn & Dianne Coote
