    I do not agree with the proposal to increase the number of units in this development.

    Exact number not specified in planning alert.

    First of all, the developer(s) should have been able to determine how many units would provide an adequate return on their investment when the DA was originally lodged. One must therefore assume they are either poor planners or are simply trying to capitalise on increasing property values.

    Will there be a reduction in floor area of individual units and/ or openings to natural light and air to accommodate the extra units. If not, unacceptable.

    Is there sufficient on-site parking to cater for the extra units? If not, unacceptable.

    Is there actually a shortage of new unit stock locally that would warrant changes to this building. A quick walk around the block in this location would suggest not. Current or recent building projects abound.

    Will the extra units add to the amenity of the building or surrounding area. Probably not.

    I am now leaving for work earlier and having to drive a different route just to get from my home out onto Canterbury Road to travel to the city because for work. This is due to increased LOCAL traffic congestion in peak times. This has became a significant problem since the beginnbg of 2016 when more of the new unit developments came on line around here and further out. It is exacerbated by movement of large trucks accessing various construction sites along the way.

    With every new unit development that is occupied, it will get worse.

    When (if) work starts on the Bankstown-Sydenham metro line, it will get worse.

    So, no extra units at this development.
