1. The proposal falls short of the current requirements for residential flat buildings in a R1 Zone as set out by the Council:
   * the Site frontage is less than the required 20m (as it is only 15.9m)
   * the Site area is inadequate for a building of the proposed height. The site is only 372.4sqm and the proposed height is 25.2m, whereas any development with a height over 9m is generally required to have a minimum site area of 500 sqm.
   * the lack of setback on the northern boundary, is not in keeping with the requirements to enhance the setting of the building. The overall visual impact from the street will be negative, and there is minimal chance of any landscaping opportunities to improve the effect.
   * the amount of traffic in this street is already excessive, given its proximity to the Primary school and the inadequate width of the street to allow for parking and the flow of 2-way traffic. Additional traffic into/out of this street will create issues.
   A building of this size; being disproportionately high compared to the ground area of the site, is out of keeping with the surrounding buildings. Whilst there are some high-rise buildings in the area, this one detracts from the area even more with an impression of extreme over-crowding.
   Therefore, I urge the Council to reject the proposed development plan.
