1. I oppose the development of 9 town houses in this part of Burns Bay Road.

   If densification proceeds in Sydney at the rate it has been happening, there will be nothing left of its character. This applies even more in the case of Lane Cove. The character of Lane Cove is being destroyed by too much development denser than free standing family homes.

   Lane Cove is a suburb where people have come to live to invest and enjoy its natural and leafy environment, and raise their families. It is a'modest suburb and not highly commercialised - a contrast with the character of Chatswood and North Sydney.

   Some years ago, there appears to have been medium densification on the upper strip of Burns Bay Road with a whole series of town houses along its way. These are quite spacious in layout compared with modern standard with setbacks and room for shared gardens. Nevertheless, these well established town house situations cause parking problems.

   This particular part of Burns Bay Road is near the dangerous intersection between Burns Bay Road and Centennial Avenue. Parking is also difficult there because of the nearly shops, a bus route, and a narrower section of the road.

   IN RECENT YEARS BECAUSE OF STATE LEVEL PLANNING INTERVENTION,
   THERE HAS BEEN TOO MUCH VERY DENSE DEVELOPMENT ALONG LOWER BURNS BAY ROAD, AND AROUND BURNS BAY WHERE ACCESS IS VERY POOR.

   THAT IS ENOUGH DENSIFICATION FOR LANE COVE. WE DO NOT WANT EVEN CREEPING LOW LEVEL SUPERIMPOSED ON WHAT IS BASICALLY A DOMESTIC FAMILY SUBURB WITH RESPONSIBLE HOME OWNERS.

   PLEASE SAY NO TO THIS NEW ENCROACHMENT INTO THE LIFE OF LANE COVE.
