1. As a ratepayer and property owner in the area, I disagree with this DA. It seeks to demolish an early 20th century house in good condition with some original interiors to build a dual occupancy which will further detract from the character and amenity of Gladesville. The current site as far as can be ascertained from Google maps contains numerous trees and extensive planting which is a part of the streetscape and will presumably be removed. There are no plans on Ryde Council website but I would assume that this will be another characterless concrete construction. Ryde Council please put all planning documents on the website.

2. It is a good question. Ryde Council provides minimal information on it’s website about the development applications submitted for approval by comparison with other councils.

   This one at 23 Hepburn Avenue in Gladesville is typical. People can make a submission but the limited detail and lack of access to the supporting documents and plans on-line, means at least a trip to Council offices to provide anything more than a very broad comment about the new land-use and the potential density.

   Other Council’s sites provide access to the full documentation of an application, so why is Ryde not doing so? It would assist people making submissions to provide specific comments in an efficient and effective manner.

3. I thought Council had made a decision to stop this destruction of our history???? To demolish an early 20th century house in good condition with original interiors to build a dual occupancy which will further detract from the character and amenity of Gladesville is criminal and greedy. The current site as far as can be ascertained from Google maps contains numerous trees and extensive planting which is a part of the streetscape and will presumably be removed. Ryde Council please live up to your promise and stop this destruction. We need our history kept safe, once it gone, its gone forever and our children are robbed of their culture.

4. Comments about an "early 20th century house" are not relevant unless it is heritage listed.

5. I presume this is a Construction by a Private Certification Company. It also appears that by following that procedure, you do not have an opportunity to refer to building constructions that may have negative or positive effect on the value of your property.

   Furthermore it may appear that there may be unreasonable circumstances with regards to how the original property was certified. Also is there any follow up when trees are removed that in the new construction suitable trees must be replaced. If you cut a tree down in your own property . Council recommends that you replace the tree that you removed. This is also why the earth is warming up because of lack of trees to absorb Carbon Dioxide.
