    I oppose this overdevelopment to the existing properties. I have been an inner west resident for nearly 15 years, and the recent years of over development of the area is be 9ming too much for the existing residents of the area. The new property developments will not create affordable housing , all the housing will be built with profits in the foreminds of the property developers. The current over stuffing of more people into the small area of the inner west has congested the roads, where we once had 2 lanes of to travel thru, its now common place to have a single lane of traffic for each direction, hampering constant traffic flow.

    As it currently stands the existing inner west council cannot adequately provide for the current constituents and its infrastructure. Roads cannot be expanded as there is no room. The inner west has always been hospitable to those who move into the neighbourhood, but the closeness of the neighbourhood is slowing eroding due to the over-commercialisation of the area. The inner west is at capacity as it is in 2018.

    I object to this development.
    357 apartments in 11 towers in that space is way to much. The current facilities cannot handle such an influx. The developments on new Canterbury Rd are dense enough!
    357 is complete overkill.
    Please protect our suburbs from devastating over-development.

    I oppose this project as our current infrastructure cannot handle more people on both the roads and public transport

    This is yet another proposal to extract the maximum number of units from a site. It’s clearly not appropriate and needs to be significantly scaled back.
    Is there a community consultation being organized by Council regarding this proposal. There should be and it should be promoted on Planning Alerts.

  5. JOHN ADAMSON commented

    I agree completely with the comments made by Claire Croumbie- Brown . The proposal epitomises developer greed and shows utter contempt for the local community .

    I totally oppose this proposal. Stanmore and Petersham need to be protected from the scourge of the Sydney apartment development. Can we not learn ANYTHING from the mistakes of the past. Once an area is ‘developed’, the neighbourhood is forever changed. Responsible development is what is called for. Let’s not loose our sense of place.

    I oppose this application.

    This high-rise apartment propsoal at the site is at odds with the area's character and amounts to overdevelopment.

    The proposal does not deliver adequate open space, is poorly designed, and will over-stretch the already inadequate transport and social infrastructure.

    It fails to respect or enhance the existing local character of the area.

  9. N. Wheeler commented

    This development cannot be considered in isolation. There several apartment developments planned or going up in the surrounding area creating pressure on local services, infrastructure and green spaces. Council, please consider the existing use of these facilities and if they can cope with an influx in population. Is Council and State government going to improve roads, schools, day care places, hospital beds etc before they approve further oversized developments that only benefit the developer and not the community?

  10. Asher commented

    I Strongly object to this insanity of overdevelopment. None of the residents have been consulted correctly and with due process to these extreme changes to our local conditions. These 3 developments will greatly affect the residents of Regent and Fisher street. Where are the independent Environmental and social impact studies that clearly show this is unsuitable for the area??? A huge impact in the most distasteful manner. Quite clearly this is another cash grab for this shoddy developer allowed to proceed by lining the pockets of a few policy makers. Do you have any power anymore Council? Why do we pay rates to a body that doesn't serve or protect the community like its supposed to. @David Chandler OAM, NSW Building Commissioner when will you look into Deicorp developments?
