    The Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE) prepared by Tony Fish of PDA Planning is a copy and paste of a previously submitted SEE (reference 281/2017/DA). Within the body of the SEE it refers to a 5 lot staged subdivision, this SEE is for a proposed three (3) lot subdivision. Such fundamental errors in the SEE indicate that minimal preparation has gone into preparing this SEE.

    The Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE) does not consider adequately the impacts to the streetscape, surrounding allotments, vehicle access and the enhancement of existing or future subdivision and village character.

    Comments in relation to principles to be addressed within the Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE)
    Design of roads, access ways and individual site access: No picture or considered assessment of the current street access is provided in the SEE. Eucalyptus Drive has not been completed and ends at the first lot, and consideration to the vehicle road access to the second lot on Eucalyptus drive has not been addressed.

    Enhancement of existing or future subdivision and village character: The SEE does not consider the neighbouring lots on Eastern Valley Way and how these lots can be subdivided with conditions that enhance the character of surrounding streets and properties for the residential estate. In a nearby backing subdivision a number of old relocatable homes have been installed. They are unsightly and do not enhance or fit into the surrounding of Tallwoods Village, if the 'size' and 'materials of construction' of homes was not addressed in the subdivided lots on Eucalyptus Drive it would detract from the existing homes and properties along Eastern Valley Way and the future extension of Eucalyptus Drive.

    The proposed subdivision has certainly not been examined in detailed by the SEE and there will be a negative impact on neighboring properties if the covenants of the subdivision lots do not address building 'size' and 'materials of construction'.

    In regards to this development application a number of concerns arise.
    1. Driveway/vehicle access hasn't been included and I would recommend/ request that the road of Eucalyptus Drive be extended slightly to allow for adequate access to each block before approving this application. I would definitely not appreciate all vehicles driving in and out of these blocks directly behind my back fence.
    2. There is no inclusion or restriction set for the type of dwellings to be built. I put forward that a stipulation is made that only newly built homes can be placed on each proposed block similar to the rest of the Tallwoods Village estate. I fear that old relocatable homes will be placed there like two other nearby homes in a subdivided block in Creekline Crescent. If this does happen this will affect the value of my property, nearby neighbours and the overall estate.
    3. I purchased my block of land on the basis that only one house would be built behind my block at the top. Never did I think that the block would be subdivided. The two proposed lower blocks would be looking directly into the back of my house taking away a lot of my privacy.
