77 Bassett Street Mona Vale NSW 2103

I strongly object to this DA, traffic along Bassett Street West is already dangerous, consistently travelling too fast, with people having to stick the nose of their car out of the side streets to get visibility of traffic, further developments of this type will increase traffic movement and therefore increase probability of an accident. Perhaps there should be some consideration of traffic calming devices - if you can manage to do this at one point in non-residential Darley Street, then semi residential Bassett Street would warrant strong consideration. There is already truck unloading activity occurring at Johnson Bros in the early hours, does this application mean to increase this antisocial activity? There also needs to be consideration of Council's own plan to increase the foot and cycle traffic along Bassett Street on the same side of the road as this DA, this will increase vehicular access across Council's proposed new pathway, and given the amount of school aged footpath traffic along the road, it sounds to me that a wholistic view is not being taken.

Most likely this has already been approved like any other application lately.we the residents and rate payers seem to have no rights anymore.allowing mitre 10 to operate changed the whole street.traffic is chaotic and very dangerous for us residents with driveways.nobody will slow down or stop to let us enter the street.both sides of Bassett street are blocked with employees from mitre 10 parking.and now we will get an other retail outlet which will only add to the parking and traffic issue.the noise is bad enough from all the businesses around.it is zoned light industrial which comes with strict rules.but those are not enforced nor looked at.we are having to deal with 20 and 40 foot containers being unloaded sometimes 2 or 3 am.then we have a gym which starts at 4.30am six days a week with music so loud it is sometimes hardly bearable.and now we are burdened yet with an other business which can operate as they please.we are living in one of the least populated countries in the world.and instead of coming up with a long term plan more and more people are being crammed into the same spaces.as I said in the beginning this is a done deal regarding the approval and the council will not listen to any of us wonder why our concerns are even requested..kind of sad when we criticise other countries for the lack of citizens rights and concerns .

As a semi-residential street (something that appears to be frequently overlooked by council) there should be strict time constraints placed on the operational hours of all businesses in the street. Similar to what hours a builder may operate when building in residential areas.
What also needs to happen to alleviate the parking on Bassett street, is 4 hrs max parking excluding residents (including trailers registered to our addresses) between the hours of 8pm - 8am. This would end the practice of vehicle storage on the streets by G Brothers and other various mechanics not to mention residents from elsewhere who don't to clutter their own street with their excess vehicles. This would help with the ridiculous overcrowding of parked vehicles during business hours, and allow residents to get somewhere to park after hours.
Bassett st west is already overloaded, ad in the unit development at the end of the street (totally out of character with the area) and we are up for nothing but constant mayhem.
This will result in more deaths on Bassett street very soon I have no doubt.
