IF IT EFFECTS MY PENTHOUSE ON 1773 / 37-43 KING STREET SYDNEY........... SAVOY BUILDING ... AS I WOULD LOOSE VIEW AND DECREASE THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY

Application: Four Points by Sheraton
Application Number: SSD 4972 MOD 4
Dear Department,
I, Chun Tsui, object to the proposed modification of increasing building height by two storeys, increasing commercial floor space by 1,620m2, amending roof plant and lift motor room, providing additional bicycle parking and end of trip facilities and any other design modifications.
The increased height of the Four Points by Sheraton building would substantially decrease the value of my apartment, as well as those of all other West-facing apartments of Windsor on Kent. It would do this by:
 blocking the Darling Harbour view
 blocking the water view
 blocking the sunset view
 blocking airflow
These are important factors when buying an apartment in a high-rise building and greatly affect the purchase and selling price and the decision to make such an investment. Since the purchase price of the apartment incorporated the above views, I would suffer a great loss on my investment. Airflow around the area may also be blocked by the increase in height, which may cause an increase in air pollution, leading to adverse health reactions by many residents who live in the CBD area.
I am motivated to make this submission in the firm belief that if we do not take a stand and say 'enough is enough', Four Points by Sheraton will continue to build more and more, blocking further views that are valued by residents in the CBD. Since Four Points by Sheraton is already considered Australia's largest hotel with 672 rooms, not including the 25-storey tower currently under construction holding 231 rooms, office space and a podium hosting functions and conferences (which is already polluting the views of Darling Harbour), the proposed modifications are excessive and unnecessary.
Please reconsider the decision to allow Four Points by Sheraton to increase building height by two storeys, increase commercial floor space by 1,620m2, amend roof plant and lift motor room, provide additional bicycle parking and end of trip facilities and any other design modifications.
Thank you for providing me with this opportunity to express my view on this decision.
Kind Regards,
Chun Tsui
