1. I’d like to know whether this application is in keeping with development for our suburb.

   There are only single dwellings situated in the area and this seems like a problematic step.

   4 multiple dwellings on the residential block would really change the neighborhood aesthetic.

2. Surely the council can not approve this? Is the intent really to demolish this beautiful historic property? How can this be permitted? I believe that it is important to retain a building that sits well architecturally with the buildings around it and to maintain the charm and character of the suburb. This is a travesty!

3. To lose such a marker of residential architecture in the area would be a terrible loss. I do not understand why this house is not in a historical register.

   The gentrification of Hobart and particularly North Hobart is a short term gain for an investor and a long term loss of historical and cultural identity for the suburb.

4. This is a local landmark for me And I walk past it often. I will be greatly disappointed to see such an extraordinary residentual home destroyed in a rush to make a quick dollar.

5. I am concerned about the well being of Mr K Arkless who resides at 81 Letitia St. He is very old and has been unwell.
   I feel this unwanted development will be detrimental to his health. Has he been consulted?

6. Demolition for financial gain resulting in the loss of such a characterful building would negatively impact on the local environment.

7. How have you considered the preservation of the heritage features by approving demolition? Where's the balance between in keeping with the area, preserving history and having new dwellings that won't be worth as much as ones with the heritage features.

8. I'm not sure whether the comments made here actually make it through into the Council's formal feedback system. Could someone from Council confirm that these comments go through and are recorded? Thankyou.

9. Four Multiple dwellings is quite an ambiguous description. Perhaps residents/home owners around this property should be consulted on the specifics of the planning permit.

10. As the adjoining owner of this proposed destruction of this Historic property by Chines developers with a building height of three stories towering above my small North Hobart style residence .This property is not listed on trust register but Hobart residents who read these comments can inspect this one of a kind property and have your say demolishing this property is pure vanderlisum Council can stop this destruction it only needs Hobart residents support . Contact alderman for support and lodge objections this could happen to the house next door to you with over seas investors Thank you for your support Kev

11. Too much of this type of development is being permitted in Hobart.
    The proposed development of 4 architectural non descript units is an affront to the neighbouring properties and will only demean their street scape, certainly not improve it.

    Hobartians need to strongly protest against this development which will result in the destruction of another North Hobart architectural heritage gem. It will be another loss for Hobart's heritage too, and another step towards Hobart becoming another non descript city of no architectural heritage significance. Just a featureless boring place of no interest to anyone like so many of the world's featureless cities.
    Wake up Hobart! Stop the demise.

12. Please don’t demolish this beautiful old home. Hobart as such a rich history and buildings such as this are part of this history. Also the plans for the new structure do not seem in keeping with the other dwellings in this area. Surely this will not be approved?

13. The current building is actually an eye sore and has no heritage value whatsoever. Demolition would in fact improve the area and also building new units would assist in the lack of supply in area. Move on people!
