1. What do you mean by multi dwelling housing development?Not another block of units I hope. There are too many now.Look at the new ones on the left before Linley Point,south of Cope St.,with another block soon to be built near the traffic lights just south of Cope St.There are too many now meaning MORE TRAFFIC CONGESTION,MORE PEOPLE LOOKING FOR PARKING AT THE LANE COVE VILLAGE SHOPS-NO MORE DEVELOPMENTS OF UNITS/APARTMENTS PLEASE.LANE COVE HAS ENOUGH!

2. I saw the plan for this and there is too much density in this development.

   I also live nearby and got no notification of this I think the notification area should encompass all houses along burns bay road, penrose street, cope street, not just the ones backed up behind cope street.

   In addition there are already too much dwellings constructed along burns bay road from the nursing home down to Carsibrook. In addition there is the new EVA apartment tower being built along the area before the Pavillions.

   Be well aware that by putting in more additional dwellings along this road, there will be even more increased traffic congestion around centennial avenue, burns bay road and penrose street (it is already bad as it is now). Also since there are only two bus routes (252 and 536) buses will be at overcapacity during peak times and will be full by the time they start boarding on Burns bay road/cope street rendering these buses redundant for the rest of the passengers wanting to board these buses. Don't need to be sherlock to figure that out.

   If you want some suggestions before proceeding with this here are a few:

   1. Ask state government to put additional bus routes along the burns bay road area. EG: Have another bus that goes from burns bay road to city going along victoria road and have one that goes from Lane Cove to Macquarie Park. Is it that hard or we can't do it because it will mean increased expense for NSW government such as hiring more bus drivers? Otherwise set up a few community shuttle buses - again can't be hard to do?
   2. Reduce the number of dwellings to a more manageable amount and increase the setbacks and green space. The dwellings look pretty squashed up in the diagrams.
   3. Take a more holistic and co-ordinated approach to planning. It seems this application and the EVA apartments is being considered in isolation from one another which just isn't fair. Also all the developments planned for St leonards is another example of this.
