    1. The development is contrary to the standards and objectives of Clause 55 of the Darebin Planning Scheme in regards to residential policy, residential character, ESD measures, solar access and dwelling diversity.
    2. The proposed development provides very poor internal amenity with reverse living arrangements in three of the four dwellings and private open space only provided on a balcony.
    3. Traffic and parking congestion will be an issue as the proposed development will increase both because it includes a car stacker and tandem parking.
    4. The proposal includes three new cross-overs which will also pose a significant risk to the safety of the many children and elderly who walk the street .
    5. The proposed management of waste collection is not shown which will further disrupt the amenity of the neighbourhood. No spaces for rubbish bins are shown on the plans.
    6. Taking into account the predominant single story, free standing houses in the immediate vicinity, the proposed application is an overdevelopment for this site.
    7. The proposal is of sufficient concern to warrant review against the Darebin Planning Scheme by Darebin Planning Committee.
    8. 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.
    9. The proposed development does not add net value to the community.
    10. The number of objections indicates the scale of the negative social effect on the community.
    11. The proposed development does not meet standards set in the Darebin Planning Scheme amendments appropriate for this street.
    12. The proposed development will not guarantee affordable accommodation.

    Fantastic to see more townhouses and builders developing in the area.Just make sure that they at least start building some that look heritage so they fit in the street scape as there are to many modern looking ones that look out of place.
