Limitations on construction work timings are regulated to protect the enjoyment of neighbouring residents in their own properties. The proposed changes would effectively remove these protections completely.

Currently, my lot is 3 meters from the construction site of Block 11 Central Park. I already have to endure construction noise all day Monday to Saturday and only have relief in the evenings. The noise has already affected our enjoyment of my lot and extending it further including permitting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the amount of noise that would be generated would be unbearable for the area's residents. Also, The building does not have any windows or sound barriers installed therefore any noise from work done inside the building would travel to neighbouring properties.

I would also like to draw your attention to a Significant Incident that occurred in March 2017 at 7.25am where the construction site's crane hit our building and shattered my floor-to-ceiling glass panel (and other units) Thankfully we were not in the dining room at that time else someone could have fallen down 23 stories. The proposed extended hours would mean that safety of all residents would now be of greater concern as more people would be home at the longer hours. I'm certain of great interest to you will be the procedure lapses that allowed this to occur, no communication from the site immediately (we had to initiate all correspondence and claims), no urgency to immediately rectify the issue notwithstanding the safety concerns and the fact that we are still awaiting for full rectification 8 months after the incident would shock most people. Therefore I don't see how this site could be given extended hours and cause further angst and sleepless nights for the community.

I strongly urge you take into account the interests of surrounding residents and reject the proposals. I trust you will maintain or further tighten the current construction hours in line with the current regulations. I expect to be notified as soon as possible of the possible outcome for the community. Thank you for your consideration.
