Removal of 29 trees.The height as documented on Sheet no 16 of the public notification plans is obviously greater than the 8.5m allowed for R2 zoning. The setback on the Eastern boundary of 1200mm is calculated on a height of just 5.7m, this is clearly wrong according to their own drawings.The sheer bulk and scale of this structure is completely out of character and will cause visual pollution.The destruction of 29 trees is an environmental disaster for the Peninsula. Surely in these days of environmental enlightenment a cleverer more sympathetic design could have been found which did not result in "moonscaping" the site.

3. Communal open space does not meet requirements and the local Austin Butler reserve is under threat of being
sold - so may not exist as an option for the residents.
4. FSR of 0.65 is 9% over the agreed 0.6
5. Council are adopting a greener space strategy - especially since the the peninsula is 4o hotter on average due to the lack of green space. This DA provides almost no provision for increasing green space or tree shade.

The certifier is responsible for ensuring the building is completed in accordance with the approved consent.

It is also noted on council files that the site was investigated back in 2016. Engineers reports were prepared and the site footings and slab were found to be compliant with relevant standards.

DA60728/202142 South Street-5 units
-Re Underground carpark: The geotechnical report states, Provision should be made to pump out any seepage water in case of unexpected rise in groundwater pressures.
-For this to happen, a pump will need to be working and will emit noise to neighbouring properties. There could also be an impact on near neighbours with engineering works. Think Opal Towers.
-This DA sets a dangerous precedent. Never done before.
-Impact on groundwater.
-Overshadowing of southern neighbour getting less that the 3 hours of sunlight - non compliant.
-Consultant Clarke & Dowdle report states that South Street accommodates low traffic demands adjacent to the site. This must be disputed.
-Bunnings creates traffic build up. Adding the movement of 10 cars has an impact.
-Gosford DCP Development Standard 3.3.3.4.2- Articulation
-Requires Max width and depth of building 25m
-For this DA 40.38m is proposed = Non compliant by 15.38
-This is greater than the previous submission. This demonstrates a total disregard for our DCP.
-3 units would allow for parking on site and would be in character with the rest of the street.

- Articulation – this is 39.5m, well over the 25m allowed under the DCP
- Site is 730.45msq, which is under the required size for this type of DA 750msq
- 516 msq will be covered soil - which is 70.7% of the site - this is well under the 326msq DCP requirement to allow 6 meter front and back and 2m along side
- The setbacks do not comply on 3 sides of the plot - some by a considerable amount.
- Ettalong is the 2nd most densely populated suburb on the central coast
- There are other large approved developments in Ettalong of over 134 units, and building in progress of over 50 of these, which will have a massive impact on the local village, infrastructure and services

16 Sydney Avenue, Umina Beach
Dual Occupancy Attached & Demolition of Existing Structures- building envelope limit is breached by a significant amount.
- rear setback is only 1m - at only 33% of the required 3m. Would put extra parking pressure on the rear lane.
- Continuous wall of 17.6m that is over 200% of the allowed 8m -
- no space for trees or green space, in an area that experiences large heat island effect.
- not in the public interest to increase population in an already populated area
- Private Open Space for each of the 2 proposed dwellings are below the prescriptive 75sqm (Unit 1 65sqm & Unit 2 70sqm)
- Overshadowing significant, and totally overbearing as it is along the northern boundary of number 18 Sydney Avenue.
- Number 18 Sydney Avenue have had an application to DA with Central Coast Council since BEFORE number 16 Sydney Avenue lodgement, yet Number 16 Sydney Avenue has gotten through to this stage before number 18 has been considered by council.
- The plans show the overshadowing of number 18 in its current form, not in the proposed development of number 18 (a single storey family home). The overshadowing plan currently shows drastic overshadowing of the existing structure, yet alongside the proposed new development for number 18 it would be even more impactful.
- Length of wall is a major issue, proposed 17.6m length stretching block from front to rear, more than twice the allowable length.
- Waste Management, I am not a professional, but I cannot see in the plans how Unit 2 which will be accessed via Lesley Knock Lane will have access to Sydney Avenue for rubbish collection.... and therefore, begs me to ask the questions, are they considering a garbage truck coming down Lesley Knock Lane, which would be another significantly negative impact on our neighbourhood.
- And finally, this development goes against everything stated in the Central Coast vision and character, future integrity of our seaside community at Umina Beach.

DA/63718/202166 Webb Road, Booker BayMulti Dwelling Housing (3 units) & Demolition of Existing Dwelling- Non compliant minimum lot size is too small by over 7% and developer is trying to use clause 4.6 - this is not in the public interest to have more development and less green areas on the peninsula - one of the most densely populated suburbs on the central coast.
- boundaries and setbacks are less than minimum requirements under 3.3.3.2-Setbacks - this is also not in the interest of neighbours and the neighbourhood
- building exceeds the maximum length by over 13m - that’s 53% over the standard.
- using previous non-compliant but allowed development is not an acceptable practice. Each development should be assessed in its own rights against the standards and policies.
- Council has adopted a greening policy in 2021- this development does not support that policy
- The open space is well below the minimum.
- The heat island effect of the peninsula will only be increased by this development - make the area more difficult to live in.
- Quote from the recently departed Director Cox is incomplete, mis-leading and it is not attributable to this development.

DA3831/202227 King St, Umina BeachMulti Dwelling (3)sample submission and a copy of some of the file here-Should have 6 space - No visitor parking included. Should not rely on off street parking, especially with similar DA's in the locality
-Rear set back is only 1.3m and should be 4.5m. The rear ‘dunny lane’ lane is not suitable for extra traffic.
-Crams in 2 garages 1.33m from rear boundary.
-The removal of the street tree should be avoided and council should ensure that a replacement street tree is indeed planted.

DA3931/2022
124-126 Broken Bay Road, Ettalong
Nine UnitsA sample submission and a copy of some of the files hereReport in PN http://peninsula.news/2023/0109/default.aspx?item=124Broken
- This site has been the subject of previous DA’s for 8 units (refused) DA/3857/2010 and then 7 units approved

- Mostly under 8.5m apart from the lift over run and portion of a roof section - 8% (400m) over limit. A request to seek exemption under Clause 4.6 is included in the SEE Appendix A
- Excavations for the basement carpark will be 300m below the water table and have been recommended in the geotech report that will require tanking of the basement. This may also cause impact to ground water and likely to impact stability of the neighbouring blocks. Water levels likely to change +/- 1.0m with tide.
A basement subject to flooding will result in residents parking on the street. This area is not suitable for basement parking (Umina Woolworths and basement at Ora units, 211 West Street, are examples of recent build basements that flood regularly)
- The neighbours will require a dilapidation report due to the excavations.
- The one page plans are difficult to read to any level of accuracy.
- Shadow diagrams do not seem to be displayed in the available DA documents for neighbours to be able to assess impact.
- The traffic report does not take into account other recently approved DA’s which will also increase local traffic demands.
- It is good to see the retention of 3 trees and the introduction of 37 new trees.

Dual Occupancy Attached & Demolition of Existing Structures
A sample submission and a copy of some of the files here> This is a re-submission of DA63260/2021 which was rejected by the LPP, however now based on newer CCLEP/DCP(2022)
> Featured in Peninsula News - http://peninsula.news/2023/0123/default.aspx?item=16Sydney
- Rear setback is not compliant at 1m - should be 4.5m
- Wall length & articulation - some areas over 10m -in length - notably 17.6m
- Plans don’t reflect change of sill heights for neighbouring properties.
- SEE refers to “2.2.5(b) - see discussion below” but this is not present in the document
- Shadowing impact is significant even during noon at mid winter. All the north windows of the neighbour will be in shadow impacting the outdoor and indoor area.
- The shadowing of the building will also impact the solar panels on the neighbours.
- RL for 18 is 5.85m - RL for this DA is 6.42m - which will add to the over-shadowing impact.
- Difference in RL may cause issues with the fence height on neighbouring properties.
- The examples given are not an equal comparison.
- Set back exemptions are also not valid and not comparing valid structures.

DA4112/202215 Allfield Road, Woy Woy4 Town Housescopy of some of the files hereAs a local resident I wish to object to this DA4112/2022 – 15 Allfield Road, Woy Woy.
- POS for each unit is below the minimal 45m2. This will not be a comfortable building to live in and allows for minimal outdoor and solar access.
- Rear setback is less than 50% compliant at its minimum of 2.13 instead of the 4.5m required.
- There does not seem to be any shadow diagrams to enable to neighbours to assess the impact of this rather large building.
- There is not enough off-street parking to comply that includes the visitor parking. The area is becoming very densely developed and parking for any new developments must be self-contained. Relying on street parking defeats the objective of this planning regulation.
- It is not valid to compare previous allowances under older DCP. This DA should be considered against the current standards requested.
- The FSR should be actually calculated, rather than inferred as being compliant.
- Such large blocks being completely covered with building and impermeable driveways will not help water drainage and flooding issues which are well known in this area and currently under review by council.
- There is clearly not enough space on this block to accommodate the density of building proposed. It is not in the public interest and should be rejected.
