"There will be no visual impact on the appearance of land, when viewed from Opossum Road," he said.

Mr Stewart also mentioned concerns over public land and he noted the land was privately owned.

Councillor Alan Harris said council's own planning staff had addressed those concerns raised.

"All of them have been addressed or dismissed," he said.

Issues raised from the respondents included disturbance of the natural ecosystems and biodiversity, traffic impact, amenity and retention of public open space.

Mr Stewart said there was only remanent vegetation around the new block and none of it would be impacted by the proposed works.

The Launceston Golf Club will continue to function without any impact from the development.
