Oppose Development of one double storey unit and clearing of block under SLO9
Oppose one new double storey dwelling as need to protect the larger canopy trees and established trees that form an important part of the Gilmour St landscape, neighbourhood character and environmental protection. Proposal to develop on SLO9 is not appropriate for Gilmour St or the Burwood protected vegetation area. Many trees on proposed block are well over forty years old and well established with protection.
Any development would damage the retention of the protected tree canopy and vegetation in the Burwood area.
Under the SLO9 many protected trees, roots and vegetation needs to be 4 meters from dwellings and proposed driveways and paths. Building of one double storey unit including paved side driveways with supporting walls and incorporating services utility pits would damage forever existing protected vegetation.
Any building 4 m to the back and side fences would completely change the Burwood neighbourhood environmental characteristics of Gilmour St area.
Oppose development without appropriate parking and/or many garages which would be required to house cars for the units and visitors. Currently Gilmour St is congested with parked cars on street with very limited parking.
