301 and 305 Kent Street Concept Hotel Development

I have reviewed the concept design for the project.

I am the applicant for a current development application proposing commercial / residential development on the adjacent site at 82-84 Sussex Street Sydney (to the west of the subject site).

I note where the subject building envelope exceeds 45m in height, the proposal fails to comply with Sydney DCP 2012 Section 5.1.2.2 (5) which requires that "Above a height of 45m, a setback of 12m is required from the side or rear boundary for residential buildings, serviced apartments or hotels to ensure visual privacy is achieved between dwellings".

In this case, a setback of 6m is proposed which does not comply with SDCP2012 S 5.1.2.2(5). Accordingly, it is requested that any determination include conditions requiring privacy screening on the common boundary above 45m in height.

It is further requested that any determination require detailed geotechnical investigations into the extent and stability of sandstone beneath the subject site given the extent of boundary excavation proposed.

To whom it may concern,
Please see attached submission in relation to SSD9694.
Please note the co-owners are Dexus and AMP.

Matt Dingwall
