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 adding 3 X two bedroom flats.
   2. Unit 2 of this proposal has a 3rd bedroom disguised as a "study". This is easily turned into a bedroom making it a three bedroom dwelling without providing the appropriate parking allowance.
   3. The proposal is inconsistent with the neighbourhood character of the area.
   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 especially as there will be added cross-overs which will be directly opposite those of the development across the lane. The development will add four new cross-overs, one very close to the established street tree.
   6. The proposed management of waste collection is inadequate, no bins or bin placement is shown on the plans, 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 attempt to squeeze three extra dwellings on the site is an overdevelopment.
   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.

2. The proposed development does not match the street or area's character. It will rise above the surrounding dwellings noticeably.

   The removal of the trees is unnecessary in what is an over development on a small parcel of land.

   The addition of so many dwellings and bedrooms without the necessary off street parking will require standing congestion on the immediate roads surrounding the development.

   The traffic congestion in the area is already an issue and has been brought up several times. Adding so many dwellings will only contribute to this dangerous and growing problem.
