Dear Bayside
I have taken a look at the revised DA sent to me by my neighbour. I am at no.3 10-12 The Glen Road and my property is directly across from no.8's rear.
Having read the DA I have some concerns about the way it is phrased. Throughout the DA there are references to "the Rear" of the property as if it indicated that it was away from the main traffic or other properties. The property is on a corner with the side and rear of it facing 4 different properties all within the strata of 10-12 The Glen Road.
From my front door there is a direct line of sight into the rear of the property and any noise from that property goes directly into my house. This has previously impacted on me, so that a water pump that used to be used in the rear of the property echoed loudly into my bedroom throughout the night, so loud it kept me awake. I can provide a photo of the view if that is helpful? If a photo is not helpful I would recommend someone takes a visual of the view, the proximity and the noise implications. There is little to no buffer between the rear of no. 8 and my property.
The original location of the swimming pool was contained behind a fence and foliage. This change is a very different prospect.
On the structural front, I do not have the requisite skills and knowledge. However the neighbour at no.4 10-12 The Glen Road said there are implications on drainage and general water ingress. I'm afraid I have no idea the details and that is something that ought to be considered to the extent required.
I am therefore highly concerned about the change of location of the swimming pool and would respectfully request that the application is denied.
I look forward to hearing views on my submission.
