Subject: 	10_0037 MOD1, Modification to Residential Development Concept, 1-9 Allengrove Crescent, 116a-122b Epping Road, 259-263 Lane Cove Road, North Ryde

Dear Mr Schofield,

I would like to object to the proposed modifications to the above residential development. 

Firstly, my opposition to this proposal is the increase of units from 154 to 179 with the suggestion that there  would not be any increase to local traffic. Surely, it would be obvious that 25 more units would at the very least add 25 more cars to the area requiring parking spaces and increase to local traffic. 

Secondly, the increase in density of housing to the development will increase the need for local infrastructure to be upgraded, such as, transportation and sanitary services provided by the Ryde Council. Has this been factored in to the proposal.

Lastly, it seems that this modification has not been approved by Ryde Council and this is of major concern to local residents who rely on the Council to make appropriate decisions regarding the developments in this area to be in keeping  with the expectations of residents in this area, such as myself. 

I, therefore, request that this development modification be scrutinised again for appropriateness to the local environment and that Ryde Council have the last say in its approval of it in accordance with local development planning regulations.

Yours sincerely
Annette McConnell
