    1. The proposal is inconsistent with the neighbourhood character of the area.
    2. The proposed development provides very poor internal amenity.
    3. The proposed development will remove a number of significant shade trees.
    4. Car park reduction is contrary to the standards and objectives of Clause 52.06 (Car parking) of the Darebin Planning Scheme.
    5. The waiver for visitor parking will result in a lack of parking for first responders in an emergency.
    6. Bin storage in garage space is inappropriate and will lead to smelly bins being left in random outside spaces.
    7. Tandem parking consumes what should be backyard private open space for unit s 2,3,4 and 5.
    8. Taking into account the predominant single story, free standing houses in the immediate vicinity, the proposed application is an overdevelopment for this site.
    9. The extra crossover needed for vehicle access to for all but one unit will create an extra traffic hazard in the street for pedestrians and other vehicles.
    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.

    The proposed development will demolish a house of outstanding beauty. The proposed residences to be built will be visible from many aspects of the street, thus altering the character of this neighbourhood significantly.
