Hello Michael,

 

I refer to my request of the 30 April 2019 for action in regard to light and noise intrusion from 2/25 Elanda street on to my property. 

 

I have met with Mr Tim Biggs, son and representative of the owner of 2/25 Elanda St  and discussed the issues with noise and light from that property.

 

 We have agreed that the following works to be undertaken by the owner of 2/25 Elanda Street should sufficiently reduce the impact of noise and light so that my complaint to Council can be resolved.

 

1.    The south-eastern side of the north-eastern deck to have a soundproof screen installed along the full length and height of that side of the deck. 

 

2.    The existing privacy screen near the south-eastern boundary to have shade cloth attached to restrict light from the mid and upper levels and any lighting from the basement and associated patio.

 

3.    The side entry to the basement on the south-eastern side of the building is to be closed and permanently locked and not used as a daily entry and used for emergencies and/or storage access. 

 

I am satisfied that the installation of a soundproof screen (framed with cladding on both sides and insulation inside) along the full length and height of the north-east side of the rear deck (on the mid-level) should minimise noise from this area in to my house. 

 

 It is important that the soundproof screen is installed along the full length and height of the south-eastern side of the deck for noise intrusion to be adequately managed. The existing privacy screen (constructed from battens attached to posts) is inadequate as it does not provide any sound barrier and does not extend along the full length or height of that side of the deck. 

 

The closure of the side entrance to the basement by locking to prevent daily use is acceptable to me as an alternative to relocating the entrance or walling in the entrance to avoid expensive structural modifications that would otherwise be required. I do not have an objection to the retention of the downstairs area as a basement for storage. 

The use of shade cloth to manage light intrusion is acceptable as a low-cost solution for managing light from mid and upper levels as well as the basement area. 

 

Mr Biggs has indicated he has agreed to these actions and that these works will be completed within 8 weeks subject to council approval and requirements as well as builder availability.

 

My objections would be satisfactorily addressed upon completion of these arrangements.

 

Yours Sincerely,

 

Stuart Hyland.
