    The developer has failed to comply with the original plans approved by the Land and Environment Court. The developer's application should be rejected and the developer should be required to complete the building as approved.

    The "horizontal banding" proposed in this application is a cheaper and uglier alternative to what was already an aesthetically challenged design.

    Approval of this application sends the wrong message to developers and the community - that developers can get away with non-compliance, save themselves some money and deal with it later through a modification.

    As a local resident I would ask that you uphold some semblance of standards and require the developer to comply with the approved plans.

    How this development was approved in the first place is beyond comprehension.

    To approve horizontal banding after the developer has failed to comply is giving a free ticket to developers to do as they please. The developer has not considered the suburban environment, the aesthetics nor the tenants with this build. It has been built as cheaply and quickly as possible for maximum profit.

    The building needs to be completed as per the original plans and therefore the developer should be asked to comply.

    The alternative is a cheaper looking, uglier building than what already exists in which local residents and the community are already not happy about.

    Dear Harjaat,

    I wish to submit a complaint regarding the proposed changes to DA201100625.03 on 244 Wardell Road, Dulwich Hill.

    The recent development on the site has caused great concern amongst the members of our community and this was reflected in the initial rejection of the development by Marrickville Council. While the Land and Environment Court went on to approve the development it has been made known the Developer has not completed the basic aesthetic aspects of the approved plans.

    The Developer should be made to fulfil the basic criteria approved by the Land and Environment Court. Located at the steps of Dulwich Hill station, the aesthetics of the building contribute to the aesthetic tone of the local environment. Marrickville Council has recognised the importance of this location by allocating significant funds to upgrading the surrounding area including Dulwich Hill station and Wardell Road. The changes in the recent DA application by the developer stand in stark contrast to Marrickville Council’s vision for the area. The proposed ‘horizontal banding’ is an economical and unattractive way to cover the problem of the Developer NOT COMPLYING to the approved legal plans.

    The changes cited in the DA are not what our community wants and are not what the Land and Environment Court approved and should be rejected.

    Sincerely,

    Angela Thompson
