We object to this application.
We have endured a year-long ‘adaptive re-use’ project next-door to our house in West Street, North Sydney and the experience was appalling: it was months of concrete saws and jackhammers, six days per week.
‘Adaptive Re-use’ is a loophole where developers claim to be preserving a building of special merit in order to create a space larger than they could build without this loophole. The principle of ‘Adaptive Re-use’ has been hijacked by greedy developers and applied to any building, including some with no special merits (note Myrtle Street, North Sydney).
This application is for a building of no special merit.
