We as surrounding neighbours object to this development.
This is a really narrow block for such a development. Street scape would be hideous.
The overshadowing to neighbouring properties would be significant.
Earlwood is a nice leafy suburb with lots of single house dwellings. And if this development is allowed it'll start being the awful apartment central like the development around canterbury and devalue the surrounding homes.
It's surprising this is this even being entertained as an option and not simply knocked back.
Residential blocks sized and designed to hold single house dwellings are not suitable for medium density, apartment block development. Oversized buildings on relatively small blocks of land create a whole variety of problems, including tiny, poorly designed "boutique" units, noise, traffic and the weakening of community. Too much of this has been allowed to happen already, with neighbourhood concerns ignored.
This block is too narrow for the proposed development. It’s impact on neighbouring properties (overshadowing, noise) will be significant. This would not be out of place in Canterbury sadly. High density housing and unit blocks are one thing on appropriately sized blocks - this is not one of them.
