The height and scale should be reduced, 5-6 storey in this area is not reasonable.

i believe that the high rise building will not add the the community, the increase of people will also increase crime around narrabeen. I believe that 3 storeys is more then enough not six. I don’t see why this block should be any more important than everyone else. As most people are saying build it in dee why or chatswood where multistory building are of the norm.
thanks

I object to the proposed development for the following reasons:
1/ Exceeds the R3 height limit
2/inadequate parking on site and street parking
3/Unacceptable overshadowing to all neighboring properties
4/Too far from local amenities
5/Too much pressure on traffic to Ocean and Lagoon St
6/Too much pressure on infrastructure water, power supply.

To whom it may concern,
This development is totally out of scale and character with the local government area, it is plain and simply GROSS OVER DEVELOPMENT. There is currently limited parking in the surrounding area, any additional vehicles cannot be accommodated in the surrounding street. Surrounding streets cannot cope with the additional traffic created by this proposal. There is no local benefit to anybody in the surrounding area, it is an exclusionary design with limited public space or community benefit.
In addition to the above the environmental impact will be significant, many mature pine and gum trees will need to be removed which will result in loss of habitat for many native animals and birds.
All consultation has been misleading and underhanded.
Please do not approve this development in ANY FORM.

I and my family have lived in Albemarle street 28 years. I am not opposing the development targets at over 60’s market. What I am opposing is the design which to the layman would be considered as over-development. Six-story hight is visually intrusive and completely out of character as far as scale goes for what is considered unique to locals. It is clearly a product of trying to maximise profits without consideration to the status quo of what exists. Having estimated 300 plus vehicles spilling out of a 3 story underground car park onto either Lagoon or Ocean st is just disrespectful.
Re-design development to 3-4 stories, in keeping with what is already maximum in the area, with less vehicles, less density would be more acceptable. I would be happy with that.
Kind regards

Narrabeen has some of the worst traffic conditions in Sydney . All blocks are small and parking is incredibly difficult . Garbage trucks and lagoon work regularly block traffic completely . The roads are narrow with many bike riders . It is a beach suburb with a special character that is entirely unsuited for large scale development . It will be a very sad day if this over the top development is allowed to happen .

I am writing to formally object to the proposed development at [insert address or Development Application number], which seeks approval for a six-storey building in an area currently characterised by low- to medium-density residential developments of two to three storeys.

This proposal is inconsistent with the established character and planning controls of our suburb. Allowing a six-storey structure in this location would:

The proposed height and bulk are incompatible with the existing built form, which predominantly comprises 2–3 storey apartment buildings and houses. Approving this development would set an undesirable precedent for future overdevelopment, undermining the suburb’s established character and community expectations.

The increased height would result in significant overshadowing of neighbouring properties and outdoor spaces, reducing sunlight access and amenity. In addition, the height and window placement would lead to privacy intrusions for adjoining residents.

The scale of the proposed development would generate additional traffic and parking demand beyond what the local street network can reasonably accommodate, particularly given the existing congestion and limited on-street parking.

The area’s infrastructure, including drainage, waste collection, and public open spaces, has been planned to support a lower residential density. A building of this scale would place further strain on these systems.

The height exceeds what is permissible under the current Under the old Warringah Local Environmental Plan 2000 (still relevant for parts of the area), buildings in “medium density areas” are limited to 2 storeys or 8.5 m, except in the area bounded by Pittwater Rd / Narrabeen Ocean St / Robertson St where up to 3 storeys or 11 m are allowed.controls. The proposal does not meet the objectives of the zoning, which seek to maintain a consistent, human-scale built form.

For these reasons, I strongly object to the proposed six-storey development and urge Council to refuse the application in its current form.

Thank you for considering my submission. I ask that I be notified of any amendments to the application or future meetings regarding this proposal.

Yours sincerely

Oppose to overdevelopment, we need help to preserve our homes, safety and lifestyles and protect our community

I oppose this project for the following reasons:
1. I live on Lagoon Street where traffic and parking is at capacity.
2. The size and height of the project is not in keeping with the surrounding area.
3. There are insufficient car spaces allocated to the project.
4. There does not appear to be any provision for affordable housing.
Whilst I am aware of the need for more housing, Narrabeen Town Centre was excluded from the State Governments new housing reforms and your government has no planning in place to continue with the widening of Mona Vale Road, flood proofing Wakehurst Parkway or the widening of Powderworks Road which are the three entry and exits points into Narrabeen. The construction of the Northern Beaches Tunnel has also been cancelled.
A project of this magnitude is inappropriate in this area without arterial road infrastructure improvements.
I would not oppose this project if the above ground height of the project was reduced to three levels together with some future infrastructure construction.

The development will not be in keeping with the current building height profile in the locality, spoiling the existing low rise skyline and views. Needs to be lower.
