Dear Department of Planning and Environment, I'm just an individual resident who owns and lives in an apartment right opposite this project as my balcony faces Gardeners Rd. During my five years owning and living in this apartment there have been several long-term major government or commercial projects taking place in this area which I believe you know them more than I do, e.g M5. It has been really struggling for me for these years living here because of the unbelievable unbearable noises occurring for most of the time. My life has been heavily impacted and often I regret purchased the apartment and living here. I never complaint even during the most difficult days when my apartment/building was shaking in the night and not even mentioning sleep, because I know e.g. M5 the project is from city planning and will benefit for all once it's completed, even though the construction took years to complete. And then it followed immediately by the commercial project right next to this proposed 520 Gardeners Rd project, which to date I still have no idea what it's for. Finally when the long lost peaceful days returned and now I receive this proposal and you have no idea how frustrated I am, especially after I read their noise plan and proposed working hours (24/7). I know I'm just an individual and my power is small but I hope you could ask my building which I believe most of the residents suffered these years, that my voice is not alone. We deserve every right to live in our apartments without any of these disturbance, at least for some years because the developments around us have been non-stop and intensive. I understand it is a decision that will involve commercial benefits outside of my control but I have to stand out and make myself heard for the first time I am opposed to such new projects that don't really care about the surrounding residents by holding their so called 'professional' assessment reports - I'm very sure there had been countless times where violations were conducted in these projects but as individuals we had no where to turn for help and how desperate we were. Please kindly imagine yourself living constantly in this hopeless environment, and how would you feel. Please show some mercy and save us from this dilemma. Thank you for your consideration.
