“ "rounded & well reasoned"? How exactly do you assert that given your profanely expressed comment with no reasoning at all to back it.. I invite you to read the article and reasons we are objecting which include, among others road safety, density, lack of amenities. Your assertion as to "a few houses" "not going to make a dent" is, again, incorrect. The development proposed will have a huge impact. It is not our subjective view that this development is over dense, the national adopted policy on habitable rooms per hectare also corroborates that this is the case. As to your other argument that services are already overstretched & parking & congestion are already bad: I just want to clarify that your solution is to take a bad situation & make it worse? In relation to additional housing, I have no argument that houses are needed, but the development has to be suitable and sustainable. You can be dismissive of our concerns, but the reality is that you have not taken the time to understand the concerns. By your logic, we should build everywhere & there is no value in environment, character, density, transport, safety, services. I can only arrive at the same conclusion: your view is uninformed & simplistic. ”
