    The Marrickville Heritage Society is concerned that the current proposal will detrimentally impact on the heritage values of the house and the Conservation Area, and does not think that the application should be approved by Council in its current form.

    The Society notes that previous schemes for additions and alterations to this interesting house in a Conservation Area took more care to retain important features of the original house, including the second (rear) chimney, and sought to reduce the height of the roof ridge of the extension below the highest point of the existing roof. These design conditions were agreed after discussion with Council's Heritage Officer, Kate Napier, and should be respected in the current design. There also appears to be some discrepancies in the floor plans comparing what is currently proposed to what has previously been approved by Council, that while not a heritage issue, casts doubt on the proponents claims that the changes proposed are minimal.

    The height and proximity of the extension to the neighbouring properties would appear to compromise their privacy and access to natural light. While these are not direct heritage issues, they could reduce the amenity and attactiveness of the adjoining properties for current and future owners, which is not a desirable outcome for any property, but particularly in a Conservation Area, where Council and the community are encouraging home owners to appreciate and preserve their properties.
