Respondent: Mr Carl Berisford-Murray

Representation Summary:

In the section where the fire station is there are approx 26 dwellings in the same block and approx 20 dwellings on grove st on the other side of the road. In total, approx 46 dwellings. The plan is to more than double that in an area approx 1/3 of the size!
My objections are to do with the density of the housing, parking, and the general density of people in the area.

Density of the housing would have a negative impact on the value of my house.

There is already an issue with parking, and residents often need to park blocks away from their homes. At least doubling the number of cars will not help this situation.

We bought in the area because it was a nice neighbourhood just outside of town. By increasing the density of people in the area, the 'nice' aspect will come under threat.
