1. 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 a two bedroom flat.
   2. The proposal is inconsistent with the neighbourhood character of the area.
   3. Unit three has a third bedroom labeled as a study.
   4. Internal amenity is poor.
   5. The new cross over proposed will have a detrimental effect on the street tree which currently provided excellent canopy cover.
   6. The proposed development will remove a number of significant shade trees and does not show adequate planting of replacement canopy trees.
   7. Traffic and parking congestion will be an issue as the proposed development will increase both. The extra car space for unit three is effectively unusable and therefore will see extra parking on the street.
   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 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.
   10. The proposed development does not add net value to the community.
   11. The number of objections indicates the scale of the negative social effect on the community.
   12. The proposed development does not meet standards set in the Darebin Planning Scheme amendments appropriate for this street.
   13. The proposed development will not guarantee affordable accommodation.
