1. A 6 story apartment development that is surrounded by single story buildings is completely unrealistic.
   The plans have no attempt to fit in the image of Gordon street and the Petersham community, no consideration for the surrounding neighbours, minimal consideration for parking and traffic on Gordon Lane, no consideration for the shadowing this would create on other properties.
   This is a ridiculously bullish attempt to cram in as many units as possible on a small plot of land.
   A development like this would leave a huge blow to the Petersham community, and I urge the council to fully reject this. A build on this land must be 2 stories high at best.

   I agree with Jordan. This idea is unrealistic and bullish in a residential area.

   The three storey block across the road looks painful but SIX STOREYS is ludicrous.

   Only desperate people would rent in such an inappropriate block.

3. Redevelopment is happening all over Sydney which is a good thing for the city as housing would be even more expensive then it is if there weren't some new supply being added to accommodate a growing population. Marrickville Council has gone through an extensive planning process (including consultation with the community) to determine where the best places are to accommodate its share of growth. It strikes me as odd that people would be surprised that the area around Petersham train station and shops is found to be a good location for some more dense development. So I'm glad to inform you that the train has already left the station there and the future character of the eastern side of Gordon St will consist of 6 storey apartment buildings.

   As someone who would be happy to live in one of those blocks I think I must be one of those desperate people Mark refers to.

   Thanks

4. Six stories is totally out of context with the general height of all nearby buildings. It is a contemptuos application that takes our community down the wrong planning path.

5. Six stories is too high. It's also a bad design for the location. Balconies over a busy road where traffic is constantly backed up at the lights, pumping out exhaust fumes. Did the architect even visit the site?
