This Concept Application, under all criteria, shamefully attempts to push the boundaries of the various statutory documents, whether the Ku-ring-gai LEP or DCP, Housing SEPP and the ADG.
It is a massive overreach in terms of the site coverage, ignores the Riparian Land issues or any
further consequences that will occur to this Flood Prone land should this development proceed. It does not meet any of the setback and separation requirements of the Ku-ring-gai DCP or that of the ADG. It ignores the rights of neighbouring properties to solar access and privacy. It expects neighbouring properties to provide the trees for privacy from this development while ensuring that the required setbacks on the development boundaries are encroached.
The visual impact of the bulk and height of this development will dominate the vicinity. The visual impact on the surrounding area will be immense as the design does not attempt to fit into the local character of low-density homes, heritage items and neighbouring Heritage Conservation Areas.
In terms of all aspects of the SEARs program this proposal has produced inaccurate and misleading information with regard to the Visual Impact Assessment, and has not engaged in community consultation in any meaningful manner.
The Concept Application lacks critical studies and reports and is patently inappropriate for the location in question given the topography, hydrology zoning and its impact on an adjacent heritage item and heritage streetscape.
I strongly urge you to reject this application as it will have irreversible and devastating consequences in its current form.
Yours Sincerely,
Ursula Bonzol
