1. This property is in the East Tce Historic Conservation Zone and 2 stories would not be appropriate here I suggest. Similarly the block of 2 story units on the corner of South St.
   They add nothing to the streetscape and fortunately are somewhat hidden by the pines.
   What is the point of a Historic Conservation Zone?
   Council has approved a few new developments in East Tce which do fit comfortably in the streetscape, but the new Lottery prize build by Scott Salisbury on the west side does not!!
   What are the current rules for developments in these special zones - it would seem anything is allowed. How are residents informed about new development plans in HCZ's?

2. I agree with Theo Ellenbrook's comments, I too would like to know how Historic Conservation Zones can be disregarded? What's the point of having any nominated areas if they are disrespected for money?

3. We also agree with Theo Ellenbrook's comments. The streetscape for East Terrace is now so radically changed that it is clear that this area, far from being conserved, is being demolished and replaced at a rapid rate. The replacement is all modern, architecturally banal and, presumably, encouraged by Council because it creates the highest possible housing density thus generating the highest possible rateable value.

4. Well said Theo Ellenbrook ,Charles Sturt Ave has a new huge house getting built and no room for any green .Sadly I wonder about the health of the Pine trees as there is so little water going into the ground now that the lanes have been sealed ,and rain going straight into storm water from these massive houses (or 2 or more) covering nearly the whole block of land. I would like to know how much say the council has now ,or is it being managed by the State Planning Authority .CharlesSturtCouncil has lost huge amounts of tree canopy,We should all be concerned.

5. So who is listening to these dubious developments in our Historic Conservation Zones? Can we view the proposal online? 2 stories is not appropriate!!!
