   Re: Objection to DA /2011/1772 – proposed Demolition of existing dwelling and outbuildings and construction of two (2) new two (2) bedroom dwellings.

   Dear Jessica Symons,
   We have examined the proposed development at No.46A O’Connell st NEWTOWN and understand as per your controls, objectives and impacts we conclude that we have concerns in the following areas.

   1. Elevations – for further assessment, we would like to see the location / elevation of our dwellings and the relationship with the proposed development shown on the north elevations to compare form , height etc….
   2. What are the heights of the rainwater tanks?
   3. What are the details of the shared boundary fence in-fill. Height, material etc…
   4. What is the proposed wall construction and finishes to the east elevation?
   5. Unsightly mass – The east elevation would propose 6.3m of wall height ion a zero boundary? This would create a feeling of closing in when compared to the current distant views and skyline view we would have a 2 storey wall. This would feel as if we have relocated adjacent to a jail. Simply put this would create a unsightly mass of walls that we would have to look at on a full time basis, this is specifically worse for No52. We object to the two storey walls on a zero boundary given the anticipated negative impacts.
   6. Privacy -
   • The first floor balcony from Unit B is of major concern in relation to privacy impact in to your courtyards. We object to balcony and its negative impact.
   • The first floor mastered & bed-study room from Unit B is of major concern in relation to privacy impact in to your courtyards. We object to this window and its negative impact.

   7. Other Non Compliances – we note that the proposal would seek variations to objectives & controls on according to the various planning instruments. These area area laso of concern to us as they directly impact onto our amenity.
   • Floor Space Ratio,
   • Minimum private open space
   • Building on the boundary adjacent to existing houses
   • Building height
   • Setback controls regarding front boundaries
   • Fence height control to ensure privacy and security of courtyards
