139 Bowden Street, Meadowbank

Amended plans have been submitted for the construction of a residential flat building containing 2 separate 6 storey buildings. The amendments involve enlarging the footprint of the lower four floors to reduce the separation distance between the two buildings. The development will still contain 22 apartments and parking for 8 vehicles. 18 off street car parking spaces are proposed in an adjoining property.

    Hi Ryde council,

    This parcel of land is way too narrow for any high rise development. There are issues with sunlight and noise because it is way too close to 141 Bowden St units. A park or low density commercial would be more ideal. We do need more parks in the area as there are so many high density units popping up in the area and there will not be enough free space. I would be quite surprise to hear that I am the only owner in the area who object to this development. I hope that this development does not go ahead in it's current form.

    Dear Ryde Council,

    I am writing in relation to development application No. LDA2014/0211 (Amended plans as at 13/07/2015). We are the owners of the property opposite this development at 141 Bowden St. We are against this development for the following reasons:

    1) The 2 buildings opposite our unit directly covers all sunlight to one of our main bedrooms. The height of these 2 towers will completely block all sunlight for the entire day. We will no longer have sunlight coming into the room. The sunlight map you provided to us also supports this view.

    2) The proposed development also will have sun light issues. The 2 towers, in particular the mid to lower floors will not have any sunlight to any of the rooms. I believe this goes against your planning rules?

    3) The proposed development is constructed too close to our property. I can see there are possible Air ventilation issues for our tower and the development.

    4) The development has a majority of the resident car parking in another building? Clearly this land is being over developed.

    I really hope that this development can be reconsidered as we are strongly against this development due to the fact it does not cater for sunlight or air ventilation and it appears the developer is trying to over-develop this piece of land by covering required car parking spaces across another building.

    Kind regards,

    Gary Lin.
