All recent comments on applications from Cumberland Council, NSW

I strongly object to this development. There is already serious traffic conjestion due to St Margaret Mary school where it backs up Henson Street and both sides of Davies Street. Cars double park, block driveways, back up the streets causing serious traffic and safety concerns with kids and their parents running out from in between cars during drop off and pick up. There are already ample childcare facilities available within the Cumberland Council and two of them are less than 1km away from this proposed development being on Davies street and the Cnr of Holdsworthy and Merrylands Rd. This development will also increase noise and polution and decrease the availability of parking for residents and reduce our privacy with the increase in traffic. This development and centre is not necessary and I hope Council considers the concerns outlined.

Merrylands is already saturated with childcare centres. We already have enough trouble in the street with parking due to St Margaret Marys primary. The childcare centre on the corner of Merrylands Road and Holdsworthy Street is an accident waiting to happen. Parents are double parked in peak times trying to get kids in and out of the centre. Imagine peak morning and afternoon times with extra parents trying to drop off and pick up kids. Henson Street is already full of cars due to it being a car pick up zone for St Margaret Marys primary school. Please reconsider a centre being built in this street. We have another centre on Davies Street and on Merrylands Road.

Im a little concerned about how close a boarding house is to schools, lots of students walk up William Street and boarding houses are known to have a lot of challenging clients that could be a risk to children.

As the rightful owner I would suggest the application be reviewed. As is property is not in the hands of the rightful owners.

This is a gross over development of the site. Another parking disaster .

There are two neighbouring homes now with units on the side and now behind them. Why didn't council include our properties as we are now landlocked and have devalued our house's. The town planner has deliberately gone around our properties without any regard of the families living there. Doesn't make sense when they could of had two street frontages. How do you zone B2 behind R2? Why is there R4 in the same street?

This development to close to the front boundary line of the property? and does not comply with council regulations

Greystanes has too many duplex’s and this is a sneaky way of getting them passed, by demolishing the house first then privately certifying and letting you know what they are building rather than allowing the local residents have their opinion.
1. That is not a true picture of 25 Royce st, but a laneway.
2. Across the road from that is 4 terraces getting built with estimate of 4 to 8 cars
3. Has anyone in council really thought about the width of that street and realized that it will not accommodate a weekly garbage truck to get in let alone an emergency SES or fire truck.
4. This will only increase the amount of cars parked and also congest Greystanes further.

Why would you allow two large Childcare Centres, across the street from each other.
Has anyone considered the traffic, the parking?

A tree on the nature strip belongs to the community. I oppose removal of street trees. There are not enough of them. I suggest if the tree is removed another appropriately sized tree is planted if modifying the plan for the driveway is not possible.

Hello. How many trees will be removed and will they be replaced? Thanks.

I presume this CC has been issued 16/05/2022 for Childcare centre?

Dear Cumberland Council members and residents. The proposal of a place of worship is certainly going to incumber the people in numerous ways. Firstly the traffic predicted is best case scenario as the results were taken just not long before lockdown on Tuesday June 1st 2021, definitely a very quiet period for a very positive biased outcome. Secondly the place is meant to cater for 20 worshippers however they have many religious festivals able to hold 200 or more which would put an even bigger burden on traffic flows, oudoor parking spaces and not to mention noise as they wish to conclude at 10:30 pm well past the 8pm curfew. Other things that should have been adressed are funerals and weddings which would add to the bimonthly religious days already mentioned. Louis Street is not a road, it has some mixed usage where Woolworths is and some flats, but in general mostly detached houses which already have to suffer from noise and traffic during peak and off peak times. It is so difficult for us to be able to safely leave or enter our own driveways and by allowing this mega prosposal would just be the last straw in safely raising our families. Please, I beg that this does not get permission. Another site would have to be chosen unfortunately for the Nepalese community. Thank you graciously for reading my comments on this proposal and please by all means this needs to be addressed to the people that live around this with letter box drops for their say as we are in a democracy and the majority rules of course.

I understand the need for this development. However, due to the proximity to Kee Lidcombe of 20 Railway Street, I feel any upcoming project should not be above 3 stories for the privacy of occupants of both apartment blocks.

This developer should not be approved due to Binda Street Merrylands West having severe parking issues as there has been a number of duplex’s and located at 22 Binda Street X three
Units. Every person has a car multiple that by two or three.

I am requesting this development be STOPPED.
Due to the current excessive car street parking across drive ways and footpaths.

No more enough is enough.

Dear Sir/Madam,

We live at the Development Plan DA2021/0701 just only about 50 meters away. In the recent years we have been facing floods in ours backyard many times whenever heavy storm was occurred. Ours backyard consisted a sewerage main hole where rain water came from different directions.

We wonder whether the rain water sewerage system of the new development will be connected to ours current sewerage system because we worry it could be worsen to the place where used to be flooded.

Your concern and investigation will be much appreciated.

Yours truly,

Chun Lee & Vun Liew

I am concerned about the growing number of commercial operations being allowed in our residential area. There are already multiple childcare centres in Greystanes, run by private enterprises, and attached to schools and churches. I don't feel there is a real need for any more. The development proposed on the corner of Alpha Road and Dahlia Street is also in close proximity to the Cedary cafe, a recent business starting operations in the area. As enjoyable an amenity as it is, it is already causing some difficulty to traffic due to vehicles parking on Dahlia and Hibiscus Streets, and a new childcare centre less than 100 metres away can only add to this problem. The coming and going of parents dropping off more than 70 children each work day of the week will surely be an inconvenience to people in neighbouring properties..

Dear Planning Department,

We are the owners of Unit 13, 67-71 Bangor Street Guildford. We wish to lodge our objection to the erection of a boarding house at 73 Bangor Street Guildford due to:
1. Issues associated with street parking that will be introduced by this development.
2. Potential noise issues associated with having a boarding house with short term residents so close to our property.
3. Likely detrimental impact on the value of our property with a boarding house in the same vicinity.

re: DA2021/0655 proposal for 73 Bangor Street, Guilford NSW

My husband and I are the owners of apartment 16, 67-71 Bangor Street, Guilford and we strongly object to the development proposal on the following grounds:.

(1) A similar proposal has previously been submitted and was rejected.

(2) A boarding house by its nature is certainly going to have the impact of depreciating the value of our property as well as the possibility of causing frequent disturbances in the neighbourhood.

(3) This is generally a residential area and the proposal will add a large number of short term residents - over 20 rooms (incl Manager).

(4) There will be a significant increase in traffic and associated noise. As a boarding house it can be expected that there will be continuous traffic and people movements at all times of the day and night.

(5) The building appears to be higher than most other buildings in the area.

It is our belief if neighbours were aware of the intention they would not be in agreement. We note no public notice on the property nor written plans were sent to neighbours as done previously.

I would like to object to this development as I have not been notified of it's construction nor given the chance to object. My understanding is that this development was rejected last time it was submitted so what is the difference in this application?.....and i would like to understand what ' boarding house' menas?

Vehicular entrance to properties Is dangerous and where cars are required to reverse out of driveways on this road it is dangerous to occupants and other road users. Illegal grannyflats on this road already result in too many cars parking on the footpaths, hindering passage of mobility impaired persons and others pushing prams and strollers.
