While I do not object, in principle, to a land subdivision at 18 Mary Jane Court, I would have reservations about the nature of any subsequent development on the newly created lot (at the rear of the existing property).
In particular, I have strong objections to any multi-story house/townhouse development at this location, as a multi-story development would:
- break with the character of existing housing in the neighbourhood;
- pose a severe loss of privacy for at least three adjacent properties;
- rise high enough to obstruct and materially detract from the views of many residents in both Isabella Court and Mary Jane Court.
I submit that planning permission be provided only if it were conditional on the dwelling at the new lot being single story in height.
