B1&B2: 76 parking spaces, with no loading bay

Apartment design follows 7 styles with internal amenity, storage, SPOS etc just adequate.
Inadequate parking (details below). Query energy efficiency and insulation against traffic noise.
But this is another ambit claim that maximises dwelling yield at the expense of…
1. These are not garden apartments, instead providing ZERO green space (should be 10% = 162 sq with 1 large or 2 small trees) and ZERO permeable surfaces[58.03-5. 58.03-8]
2. No loading bay or bins for x3 shops [52.07, 93.11].
3. Access to under ground car park for 81 vehicles is via single carriage lane way and/or driving on the wrong side of Combie street. [58.03-6] Query access functionality and circulation impact for neighbourhood
4. Claims disability compliant apts (x10 1 bed, x28 2 bed) yet provides just one small elevator to service 57 apartments across 6 le vels  [58.05-1]. Is this reasonable?
5. Difficult waste management (chutes, small waste room, no loading bay for the truck etc) [58.06-3]
6. Rear set back touches the 45 degree limit [58.04-1]
7. Walls on boundaries limit development for adjacent plenty rd sites. [55.04-2]
