1. Once again the density of our suburbs is being increased without any reference to local infrastructure and amenity. When will the council start listening to residents that this form of ‘filling in’ is not acceptable until the local streets can actually support the increase in traffic, that our schools have spaces for additional children and that there is sufficient open space for all residents to enjoy.

   How will Morrison Rd be affected on that corner as multiple residents seek leave the new development during the morning peak just near the primary school? Has this been thought through??

2. A lot of these developments are submitted by applicants without any consideration for the community and the Council Planning Dept. are happy to tick certain boxes and waive some of their Controls they tell us they enforce to assist the applicants in getting them built.

   It would be nice if existing residents were considered along with the impact on the wider community, but it seems that applicants' rights to build outweigh those of the wider community.

   The Gladesville/Putney area used to be quite a nice place to live but now I wouldn't recommend it to anyone and its only going to get worse as it becomes more dense and congested.

3. I object to the development for the following reasons:
   As far as can be ascertained from the zoning maps (you need a microscope to see them and Ryde Council makes no effort to provide easily navigable online zoning maps) it is zoned low density residential where as the development is medium density.
   The development does not preserve and improve the existing character, amenity and environmental quality of the land (LEP 2014)
   Adverse effect on the residential amenity of neighbours, by reason of noise, disturbance, overlooking, loss of privacy, overshadowing.
   • Unacceptably high density / over-development of the site,
   • Visual impact of the development is detrimental
   • Adverse effect of the development on the character of the neighbourhood
   • Design is inappropriate to the area
   • The proposed development is over-bearing, out-of-scale and out of character in terms of its appearance compared with existing development in the vicinity
   There is no provision made for increased traffic along MOrrison Rd which is a narrow road which is becoming increasingly more congested and dangerous to cross.
   Gladesville and Putney schools are overcrowded and this development exacerbates that.
   Traffic along Victoria rd corridor is at a standstill from 6 am to 6 pm and this development will continue to exacerbate the traffic congestion as the residents from the development will have to access Victoria Rd to move west or to the city centre.
   Gladesville and Putney are being overdeveloped with flats and McMansions and the historic and charming character of these suburbs is being destroyed due to poor planning decisions.
