23 Kingston Street Oak Flats NSW 2529

Another inappropriate build for the area. The street already has many of these shabby unimaginative, ecologically unsound, no green credentials, environmental damaging, non-solar or energy efficient (the shadowing rules are contrary to expectations of neighbours and tenants),BASIX and NatHERS are too low a standard and often abused by private assessors who cost save by using low quality (rated insulation etc.) materials glazing draft shields etc. Just have to see how many air conditioners there are in the windows of the blocks. Socially isolating and not suitable for the governments intended tenants - young families, the aged, those with disabilities and those who have had difficulty obtaining rental accommodation (steep narrow stairs, lots of exterior blind spots, no compliance with general disability access.
The street is not marked with curb parking neither side and by just looking up the street you can see the numerous parked vehicles from similar units.
The allowances for the number of onsite parking for tenants and visitors are ridiculous from evidence. The size and number of garages and parkiing space are more like appropriate for mini medium cars not the average ute or AV or 4x4 popular these days. Council and planning authorities need to revise these in the face of glaring evidence. Getting in and out of these units is difficult and dangerous for other tenants and passers by both human and vehicular traffic due to no real frontages and regular use of privacy walls right to the front boundary. Council and an independent body need to interview current tenants (not owners) or owner-tenants about the difficulties they face with all the above. The units are so small I note garages are often not used because entry by vehicles is difficult and also a lot are used for storage as they the units have limited storage space.

(Continued) Disability Access - no ramps, front doors are as narrow as they can get. (look odd-regardless of design.)
Low quality materials and standards are not the fault of private assessors as stated above - that was a typo error - "private assessors" should read "developers,designers and State Government very low building standards and regulations"
