    1. There is an oversupply of 1 and 2 bedroom apartments in Darebin, and an undersupply of 3 or more bedroom separate housing for families. This development adds to the imbalance by removing a family home and adding 8 one and two bedroom flats.
    2. The proposal is inconsistent with the neighbourhood character of the area.
    3. The proposed development provides very poor internal amenity (ESPECIALY UNITS 4 and 5) with small living spaces.
    4. The proposed development will remove a number of significant shade trees and does not show any planting of replacement vegetation.
    5. Traffic and parking congestion will be an issue as the proposed development will increase both. The increased congestion in the street will also pose a significant risk to the safety of the many children and elderly who use the street to walk.
    6. The proposed management of waste collection is inadequate (WITH NO BINS FOR UNITS 2, 4, 5, 7) and will further disrupt the amenity of the neighbourhood.
    7. Car park reduction is contrary to the standards and objectives of Clause 52.06 (Car parking) of the Darebin Planning Scheme.
    8. The waiver for visitor parking will result in a lack of parking for first responders in an emergency.
    9. Taking into account the predominant single story, free standing houses in the immediate vicinity, the proposed application of 8 dwellings is an overdevelopment for this site.
    10. The visual bulk from the built scale of the proposed development will be very imposing as it will be visible from surrounding properties and the street.
    11. The proposed development does not add net value to the community.
    12. The number of objections indicates the scale of the negative social effect on the community.
    13. The proposed development does not meet standards set in the Darebin Planning Scheme amendments appropriate for this street.
    14. The proposed development will not guarantee affordable accommodation.
