184 Lord Sheffield Circuit Penrith NSW 2750

I greatly support this application as it fits with the ongoing CBD rejuvenation. I support greater density of housing in the inner ring of Penrith, supporting more business opportunities, the growing sense of a Penrith nightlife and other opportunities. I especially think it’s important that it opens up a much needed direct pedestrian link between Mountain View Cres, the station, and the rest of the CBD, opening up parts of Lemongrove and the areas north of lemongrove rd for commuters and reducing car dependence for travel to and from the station.

I don’t see any provision for a playground. The current playground is used constantly and I fear that it would not cope with the additional families who would be accommodated in the new appartments.
Also why isn’t The Crescent continued down through the area to meet up with Lord Sheffield Circuit. Don’t be fooled if council think that people would walk to the station via the pedestrian path. The people who currently drive to the station via The Crescent and Mountain View Crescent live further away than you think and guaranteed they will still travel by car to the station to catch a train.

I think it is unreasonable to build a 31 story building in an area where the current maximum height is around 10 stories. I think the height of the residential towers should be in keeping with the average height within the estate to ensure current residents aren’t completely overlooked and to prevent views from being completely obscured. Additionally, with that number of additional residents moving into the area, what is being done to ensure current and future residents have access to sufficient parking, particularly considering the station car park is now a park and ride? 31 stories is too many apartments to cram into an already dense population area.

I agree with M Young there are not the infrastructure in the area to accommodate all these residents. There has still no mention of any new recreational areas which are needed. This development should comply with existing regulations.
