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 4 X two bedroom flats.
   2. Units 2 and 3 of this proposal have a 3rd bedroom disguised as a "retreat". These are easily turned into a bedroom making them three bedroom dwellings without providing the appropriate parking allowance.
   3. The proposal is inconsistent with the neighbourhood character of the area.
   4. The proposed development provides very poor internal amenity in Unit 4 with reverse living arrangements with private open space only provided on a balcony.
   5. The proposed development will remove a number of significant shade trees and does not show adequate planting of replacement vegetation.
   6. The enlarger cross-over will require the removal of a significant street tree.
   7. 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.
   8. The proposed development does not add net value to the community.
   9. The number of objections indicates the scale of the negative social effect on the community.
   10. The proposed development does not meet all standards set in the Darebin Planning Scheme amendments appropriate for this street.
   11. The proposed development will not guarantee affordable accommodation.
   12. The proposal is of sufficient concern to warrant review against the Darebin Planning Scheme by Darebin Planning Committee.
   13. Traffic and parking will be an issue as the proposed extra crossover will further reduce the safety of the many children and elderly who walk in the street.
