Mixed Use Development, North Gosford

I would like to lodge my objection to the mixed development proposal in North Gosford (Application no. SSD-69773460).
I am a nearby resident of the proposed development and put forward that the current development proposed will have significant negative impacts on the living conditions of current and future residents in the immediate and surrounding area as well as the environment. My main concerns are related to the density proposed, traffic hazards and congestion without adequate additional infrastructure, parking, and the height of the development being well above and beyond current restrictions. In addition, light and noise pollution and inadequate consideration as to the current width of the street to accommodate the increased traffic.
The Traffic management report is unrealistic. Page 12 of the Transport Management report incorrectly assumes that the current operations are satisfactory when they are not. Table 5 states the ratings from C to F, with majority of ratings indicating that the current situation is already "At capacity" or "Unsatisfactory" according to Table 4 above. The huge increase in residence from this development will further add to this area's current traffic burden and congestion. Right turn from Dwyer onto Mann Street is already a safety issue which has been significantly downplayed in this report. Equally, cars from the Eastern side of Dwyer Street turning right into Mann Street already cause hazards for cars from Western side of Dwyer Street turning left into Mann Street and this development will further increase this risk. My car has been in such an accident due to this issue previously under the current traffic conditions.
To address this, traffic signals (including pedestrian crossing signals) and left turn only during peak times for both sides of Dwyer Street should be mandated as a condition of this application to manage this for vehicular and pedestrian safety.

Street parking is already currently at capacity, and an additional 16 townhouse has recently commenced building works on Dwyer Street (directly across from this proposed development) and into Campbell Street which will further excerbate the traffic and parking congestion.
Noise and light pollution for the area's bird and wildlife will be impacted, and more trees should be included in this proposal.
In addition, as there will be a significant increase in the people living in this area and using the Mann Street path from Dwyer Street to Gosford CBD/ Gosford Station, an upgrade to the Mann Street pedestrian path including increased tree coverage all the way from this development to Gosford Station should be included as part of this development or at least funded by the State Government as part of its mandate for increased housing close to CBD areas. It is not enough to provide housing, but responsibility of the State government to ensure quality and adequacy of infrastructure for the area.
Upgrade of bus stops on the corner of Dwyer and Mann Street and an increase of bus services to accommodate increased residences should be negotiated with the bus companies and Central Coast Council.
The building height is well above the allowable height limit and this building will be even higher than the newly built VOCO tower in Gosford CBD, overshadowing the neighbouring building on Mann Street (Loyal IT building). The height is well out of character with the rest of the other residences in adjacent Campbell Street. Lower height for the whole complex would be needed. It is unfortunate that this proposal was submitted despite these clear guidelines. I urge that the building height, traffic management and infrastructure for the area to be scrutinised further and amendments made accordingly before this application is further considered.
