This corner block and small street are not fit to handle traffic or parking to 12 x 3 storey apartments. Assuming 3 bedrooms, is there parking for at least two cars per apartment?
Access via armstrongs road to this development - once turning into Armstrongs from the highway will result in accidents! A bottleneck will be created from the developments residents attempting to turn right into the property, they won't have a clear way due to vehicles on the other side of armstrongs trying to turn onto the highway, resulting in cars being banked up on the highway while attempting to turn into armstrongs road. A recipe for disaster.
Aesthetics and livability of box like apartments is reducing the standard of homes in Seaford and all along nepean hwy.
6 reasonable size apartments would still be a squeeze but preferable.
This location is right on firetrack access next to a part of the creek with a limited weight bridge. A delicate treed area which will result in a huge concrete construction as an eyesore.
How about council seek quality over quantity for once.

I do not understand how twelve, three-storey townhouses were approved. This is an insane number of houses and at heights that create dominance and shadow on the landscape. The property has a bushfire overlay and is in an environmentally sensitive area between Kananook Creek and the Seaford Foreshore Reserve. It is not in line with any of Frankston's neighbourhood precinct requirements for Seaford.
Also, quite apart from the over development of this site, it ripples out to impact the traffic flow for the area. Armstrongs Road is one of the few ways out to Nepean Highway after Eel Race Road was closed. Having extra residents moving in and out onto Armstrongs Road and Nepean Highway is going to create a bottleneck. Couple this with beach access and a pedestrian crossing right outside of this property and it's setting up a disaster.
I am so sad that this has been approved with little consideration for those who currently live here and the natural environment.
