1557 Botany Road, Botany NSW 2019

ABSOLUTELY NOT!
*bulk and scale way too big for this site especially for botany street frontage is it compliant fsr?
* there are already two other developments on botany road by Henley developments that are shops and housing @ banksmeadow and @ hale street and those shops are empty and dormant and banksmeadow has been so FOR YEARS
*why has the traffic plan been redacted? Tenterden is almost impassable now and dangerous and a dangerous intersection this building will create absolute chaos and accidents and the residents will suffer greatly especially since many houses don't have off street parking
*what is the plan to support full off street residential parking AND shop customers???
*the building on the opposite corner is up for sale and potential redevelopment no way can botany road in this location support this amount of large development and traffic
*large construction vehicles are not allowed on this part of botany road anyway and they won't fit on tenterden how will it get built?
NO NO NO

There is clearly not enough off street parking planned for this development. Single building new builds are required to include suitable off street parking then why shouldn’t multi unit builds that bring in many more residents and their cars.
There have been plenty of these kinds of developments previously approved for the area, with street level shops remaining empty. Why approve another one.
The corner of Botany Rd and Tenderten St is busy enough. Yet another oversized development on Botany Rd is not necessary.

While the structure seems suitable the parking is definitely inadequate.
4 x residential properties and 2 x commercial businesses with only 8 car spaces (and 1 disabled) planned.
At least 55% of residents own 2 or more vehicles in regional NSW. Doing the math all car spaces will be full without any allowance for employee vehicles or customer parking.
The surrounding area already has major parking issues impacting residents, this DA would only exacerbate it further as it currently stands.
This application needs more car spaces before it can even be considered!

It currently states that the above DA-2022/421 has been "AMENDED" and that these Amended Plans are now open for public comment until 12th December 2023.

Unfortunately I cannot see ANY of these so called amendments!!!

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could advise me as to what is going on?

Kind Regards,

Re: DA-2022/421 - 1557 Botany Road, Botany

There has been ANOTHER amendment to the Architectural Plans.... (AMENDED Architectural Plans in One Folder (for notification)- 1557 Botany Road, Botany - posted 31/01/24 on the Bayside Council DA site for 1557 Botany Road.

https://eplanning.bayside.nsw.gov.au/ePlanning/Pages/XC.Track/SearchApplication.aspx?id=412200

There is still yet to be any proper detailed written explanation to these Architectural changes.

Other than our original concerns about the development, which still stand. I have noticed that the garage at the rear of the building will be wide open to the elements. This would mean that vehicle noise, exhaust fumes and the opening and closing of the garage gate is to become a major issue to the units at 1559 in close proximity.

Could Bayside Council please look into this and clarify these major Architectural Plan changes to the community.

Thank you,
Paula.

REF: DA-2022/421 – PAN-293410 – 1557 BOTANY ROAD, BOTANY 2019

STATEMENT FROM PAULA SVOBODA – OWNER - (SP98460) UNIT 11 1559-1563, BOTANY ROAD, BOTANY 2019

Dear Bayside Local Planning Panel,
Since the original Environmental Impact Statement (by Planning Ingenuity P/L), all I have observed on the Council website is a further set of Architectural diagrams without any specific details to such a significant change to the overall design of the proposed development.
Compared with the original proposal, these new diagrams in reality make the proposed significant changes EVEN MORE DISADVANAGEOUS to my immediate outlook due to:

• Vehicle noise and exhaust fumes from the large OPEN area ground floor garage at the back of the building directly opposite my unit.

• Indecent overlooking’s from a balcony and several windows directly opposite my unit.

• Current views, West to North from my unit will be lost.

As a concluding comment, I would add that before I purchase a property, I undertake detailed research in terms of the aspect, outlook, noise potential, hours of sunlight and general environmental atmosphere surrounding the intended residence.
I have to state categorically, this intended development will effectively wipe out all the multifarious advantages that was a crucial part of my original decision to purchase my property.
In addition, it will almost certainly depress to a significant extent the property values of all apartments in my complex that have been directly impacted.

Yours Sincerely,

Paula Svoboda
Owner - (SP98460) Unit 11, 1559-1563, Botany road, Botany 2019
