1. The Marrickville Heritage Society is concerned that the heritage values of this important Victorian Terrace house have not been adequately investigated, assessed, or respected in the proposed development. The terrace dates from 1878, making it probably the oldest extant building in The Boulevarde, and a stand-out contributor to the Lewisham Estate Heritage Conservation Area. The proposals require alterations to the street facade of the building, which cannot be supported. The documentation for the other internal works and extension are lacking in detail that make an accurate assesment of the potential impacts on the subject terrace, and the adjoining building, impossible.
   The Society notes that the Statement of Heritage Impact for this important heritage building has not been prepared by a heritage consultant, and has not been prepared in accordance with the established format provided by the NSW Heritage Division.
   The Society therefore requests that the application is not approved until a revised proposal is provided with additional clarifying documentation and information, with the deletion of works that will have an adverse impact on the heritage values of the house, the adjoining terrace, and the Heritage Conservation Area. The Statement of Heritage Impact should be updated to include a proper assessment of the importance of the property and its curtilage, and how the works will protect these heritage values.

2. If The Marrickville Heritage Society is concerned then so am I.
   Therefore I also request that the application is not approved until a revised proposal is provided with additional clarifying documentation and information, with the deletion of works that will have an adverse impact on the heritage values of the house, the adjoining terrace, and the Heritage Conservation Area. The Statement of Heritage Impact should be updated to include a proper assessment of the importance of the property and its curtilage, and how the works will protect these heritage values.

3. The Marrickville Heritage Society makes very important points and the heritage issues must be addressed and the proposal should not be be approved. The impact on the removal of the heritage features of the inner west are leading to a overdeveloped high density area environment and once gone they can not be brought back.

4. I object to this DA as there is insufficiant detail in the proposed alterations to this historic terrace building. As the Marrickville Heritage Society has requested, I also request that the application is not approved until a revised proposal is provided with additional clarifying documentation/information and the deletion of any works that will have an adverse impact on the heritage values of the house, the adjoining terrace, and the Heritage Conservation Area. The Statement of Heritage Impact should be updated to include a proper assessment of the importance of the property and its curtilage, and how the works will protect these heritage values.
