27 Ballarat Street, Brunswick VIC 3056

I oppose this planned development at 27 Ballarat Street, Brunswick, VIC 3056.
Reasons for my opposition:
* Lack of parking for both cars and bicycles. There are not enough parking spaces as part of the design, less than one per apartment. I addition there are not sufficient available parking spaces in the area for general requirements like deliveries, visitors and general upkeep. There are not even enough bicycle spaces for one bike per bedroom of the building.
* This design shows six stories plus a roof top terrace. This is a very high building on a small plot of land. Building with this density comes at a cost to people and the environment they live in.
* The building will overshadow the direct neighbours Solar Panels at 25 Ballarat Street and there is a very high chance that my Solar panels at 16 Boase Street will be overshadowed during some of the most valuable evening hours. Please beware of the Victoria planning note: https://www.planning.vic.gov.au/guides-and-resources/guides/planning-practice-notes/planning-for-domestic-rooftop-solar-energy-systems
* This building will be visible as a very high concrete wall (22.4 meters) outside my balcony, blocking the evening sun and heavily reducing the value of my property.
* The building will further reduce green garden space and add concrete in an already dense and overheating area of Brunswick. This building will further reduce the livability in the neighbourhood.
* Proposal of only adding 5.2KW of solar generation to a building of that size is not enough to cover usage. A missed opportunity.
* Another cafe? There are a number of empty proposed cafes in buildings like Brunswick Yard and others in the vicinity. The size of the cafe will not allow for a reasonable kitchen, only allowing for yet another coffee shop.

In addition to my previous comments:

I am missing the overshadowing statements as required by planning (PPN88):
"A planning permit application should include the following information:
The location of any existing domestic rooftop solar energy system on a dwelling on an adjoining lot and the extent of any existing overshadowing.
Shadow diagrams that illustrate the extent of overshadowing created by the building and works on any existing domestic rooftop solar energy system.
A written statement outlining how overshadowing of any existing domestic rooftop solar energy system is proposed to be mitigated. "
