1. I would like to oppose this development proposed for the following reasons:
   • The design is not at all compatible with the surrounding properties. The top front balcony design is visually intrusive and the overall development, which is to be between two single level dwellings, is overpowering and would overwhelm the street. It would look like a great white monolith in the middle of a very small and narrow street.

   • As Binney Street is a short and narrow street with a lot of narrow fronted properties on the west side of the street, street parking spaces are limited. Given this development is providing only two car spaces for 2 x 4 bedroom units, this could create a lot of extra vehicles parking within the street.

   Also as a similar sized property is proposed for number 6 Binney Street, the combination effect would have a large impact on street parking and flow through traffic.

   • The excessive runoff on such a large property would also have an impact on the current overloaded drainage system which exists in this part of Caringbah South. Tanks that are only used for a small “waterwise” garden and for a small pool top up, would quickly fill in a storm and would therefore serve no purpose.

2. I must agree with Roslyn. It is a real concern that Sutherland council are approving so many dual occupancy dwellings with no thought for existing over stretched infrastructure 2 x four bedroom dwellings mean 4 cars minimum, 6 garbage bins, 4 bathrooms and four toilets using infrastructure designed for a 3 bed and 1 bath house 60 years ago...

   Streets in Caringbah are overloaded with cars as it is and just have a look what happens on garbage night. No room for both bins and cars...It is a mess and needs to be addressed. Developers need to have at least room for off street parking for 2 cars and a visitor per house and have some form of waste management on EACH site.

3. I agree with the above, Binney Street is a short, narrow street. Yes, I agree parking will be a problem. There appears to be a single garage for each dwelling with possibly a single car space directly in front of the garages for each dwelling. Four bedrooms each dwelling will most likely attract the potential for extra cars which these proposed dwellings do not provide for. Also these dwellings do not provide for visitors parking. It appears to be overdeveloped in regards to four bedrooms to allow for maximum potential of Sale without consideration of parking in a short and narrow street. Also there would be at least six waste bins associated with these dwellings, effectively using parking space on an already narrow and at times congested street.

4. It's not just Binney street that is an issue , have a look all round, the problems that are already happening, parking , extra bins taking up parking spaces, traffic through Caringbah from 3.30pm on , traffic around schools, roads not being repaired quick enough , sewerage issues like our place in Northcote Ave now having back flow through our floor wastes because of tree growing into pipes 2 times in 12 mths.
   Greedy developers that don't have to live in the areas that they are ruining for others.
   Councils need to sit back & look at the ongoing problems that they are allowing to happen in what was & could be a great place to live in the Sutherland Shire .
