1. To whom it may concern
   This application has over 40 people living in the development. On a comparable size to perhaps 3 three bedroom terraces. They have indicated 5 car spaces , 6 motor bike and ONLY 10 bike spaces. Perhaps the minimum would be a bike space each? Parking in the area is already a nightmare.

   This really is shoebox housing, living there would be a nightmare. Has anyone really looked at the studios on the interior "courtyard"? level 1 for example.

2. Proposed is a 27 bedroom boarding house.

   The application states:

   "...This amendment does not seek to intensify the approved use of the subject site.

   ...Furthermore, the amendments do not include changes to the approved building envelope, height, footprint, setbacks or room numbers. Therefore, the modification to the application does not alter the nature or essence of the approved development."

   ...but the application requests "3 additional car parking spaces".

   This will clearly increase the development's traffic generation.

   The site is situated near the City of Sydney's east-west cycling corridor, the nearest access to which is Redfern Lane (for eastbound riders connecting to the Eastern Suburbs) and Redfern Park (for westbound riders to Redfern Stn and Sydney Uni).

   The application should be updated to provide bike parking rather than the additional car parking, and in any case, should be required to comply with the bike parking provisioning requirements of Sydney DCP (2012) Table 3.5: On-site bike parking rates.
