1. Hello,

   We are generally fine with the works being planned, and happy for our neighbours, but do have 2 small concerns which we think can be relatively easily addressed via this process.

   1. We are located immediately next door and although are happy for them to add a first floor if they wish, we did not want it to be based on the assumption that the height of our existing roofline would remain as it currently is (given we are currently in the process of planning for a first floor addition also, which our current plans from builder and architect indicate current roofline height would need to be increased somewhat to meet minimum height requirements of a bedroom etc). We say this, given the plans for No. 5 Short st seem to be very focused on letting in more light from the side of building adjacent to our property (which is of course understandable and desirable for any property) but would not want that to cause issues for us down the line if they consider any increase at all to be a problem for the extra light they hope to gain (which it currently is not).

   2. DA Plans indicate a decking and outdoor kitchen/BBQ is intended for the adjacent fence area (there is currently a small tree which provides good privacy for that small section of fence). Fence height is already very low currently (and privacy between yards, and into open plan section of house would be further impacted if tree was removed to make way for outdoor kitchen), in an already 'tight' setup between the properties/yards. Regardless of tree being removed or not, we request if fence height could be increased by at least 30-40cm (happy to discuss style so we, as neighbours can all come to an agreement that everyone is happy with).
