1. I write to object, in the strongest possible terms, to the application to construct 16 dwellings on the site at 31 Alexander Street Sandy Bay. This area of Sandy Bay currently includes numerous heritage houses, which have been constructed mainly as single, or in some cases two story residential dwellings, and which, together describe the historical settling of the local area.
   To construct a development that comprises 16 dwellings is, in every way, incongruous to the surrounding area in both architectural design and intention, as well as to the accommodation density of all existing residential dwellings.

   There is no need to construct the proposed building in this area, and doing so would cause extensive loss of and reduction in privacy for numerous residents whose homes would then fall in the shadow of this proposed construction.

   The proposed construction will impede also on the skyline to the east and west, increase shadow on numerous residents for many months of the year.

   The proposed development will also increase the residential density in this area, leading to even more traffic along Alexander Street to what is already a high risk roundabout, as vehicles travelling away from the University of Tasmania along Churchill Ave constantly speed through the Alexander Street roundabout, resulting in many near-misses.

   I encourage Council to reject this application and to ensure that such a development, which is so out of character with its surrounds, and which in no way improves the area or the quality of surrounds, does not proceed.

   Thank you for your consideration.
