This should be refused or amended. The proposes lot sizes of 790m2 and 820m2 are not in keeping with the character of the neighborhood in the direct vicinity. Blocks in this area are larger in size with a high level of flora. The three remaining lots are of a larger size simply to the fact that there is a HV easement in which buildings can not be built under.
As outlined in the associated application reports, lot sizes of less than 4000m2 will result in no protection for the existing trees and the crucial habitat they provide for the fauna of the area. The smaller lots will have little to no flora value or canopy due to the small size and the proposed building envelope dominating the lots.
Granting of this application will result in a precedent being set for these larger blocks in Eltham of which the property is 1km from the main road, it certainly is not Eltham town center.

I also disagree this development due to 5 units far from Eltham centre and units are too large for any flora to be maintained
