1. To whom it may concern, I feel this development project does not provide sufficient parking for its proposed size. Given the proposal to include three and two bedroom apartments and commercial suites, the provsion of parking will barely meet residential occupant demand let alone that of commercial and or other visitors. Assuming that some apartment's owners will have 1-2 vehicles this would easily exhaust the proposed allocation and thus rely on surroundings streets for parking. Residing in the area, I already see the stress that local businesses add to off street parking resources as the generous provision by council of Business permits sees my street and surrounding often at or often over capacity during the week. The introduction of new residents with inadequate parking facilities would add to this problem and therefore I ask that the parking allocation be reconsidered for this development to match its size.

   I also strongly believe that the restoration of the original facade or similar would greatly improve the streetscape and add to the area and the appeal of the development. The destruction of heritage buildings through developers should not go unnoticed, albeit not the action of the interested developer, I feel that the recreatioon of the original streetscape would be a nod of respect to the past while encorporating the new.

2. Hello
   It's nice that something will finally be going up there. I'm worried about parking though. I live nearby, and parking is extremely difficult to find for residents nearly all the time. Most of the cars that are consistently parked in the area all day have business permits, which means that the residents have to park hundreds of metres away. If the same thing is going to happen to this development then the situation will get even worse. Can we either increase the on site parking hugely, or can council change their policy on handing out business permits.
