Building should be single storey

The two-storey townhouses proposed for Burge Rd, Woy Woy, will block the air, light and breezes coming from the north and east, greatly affecting our main living and recreational areas.

In addition, heat will generate from the high brick buildings and added concrete.

The removal of many huge native trees, many over 3m and in a remnant rainforest, will really affect our lifestyle.

The habitat of many birds and animals will be destroyed.

I request that buildings be single storey or placed where other people's living conditions will not be affected.

I request that if native trees are removed, that another area be created with native trees to offer coolness, shade and privacy and that suitable feed trees be planted to feed the many birds that have made this area their home for countless years.
