1. I hereby object to DA201500679 submitted to Marrickville for demolition of existing improvements and construction of a 2 storey building with 5 commercial tenancies consisting of an interior design office, engineer’s office, media office, architects office and artist studio at 72-74 Fitzroy Street, Marrickville, NSW.

   This application does not comply with the requirements as it does not minimise the adverse impact on surrounding residential properties. This development will lead to reduced parking for residents (which is already highly strained during the day), increased local traffic, potentially increased noise and conflict between pedestrians and cars entering the proposed parking space.

   No additional parking has been allowed for by this development. While there has been one parking space allowed for in the design this will be negated by the loss of a parking space on Fitzroy Street from the new drive way that has been proposed. This will lead to conflict between local residents and workers/customers of the proposed development.

   It makes no sense to have a business of this nature, or any for that fact, along a section of road that is surrounded by residential properties. Contrary to the Statement of Environmental Effects submitted by the applicant the surrounding area is made up of residential dwellings and not light industrial and commercial use dwellings. There are no light industrial and commercial use dwellings where the site is along the stretch of Fitzroy Street between Edinburgh Road and Smith Street. The proposed development is directly in between two residential properties. There is a large factory opposite the site however this is completely fenced along Fitzroy Street with access obtained only via Edinburgh Road.

   As is the case with most other business’s along Fitzroy and Smith Street that have a driveway cars will likely be parked across the footpath as people working or visiting these premised view the space as another car park. This is dangerous to the pedestrians that use the footpath’s as they often have to step onto the road to around the illegally parked vehicle.

   Regards,

   Nicholas Olsen
