The height of this building is not in line with the community feel of the neighborhood

I object to the project because view sharing with existing residences appears to be ignored which is devastating for the existing adjacent homes

The planned ten storey building would obstruct the original view from the terrace of my property and that of many others in the neighbourhood lowering the value of those respective properties as well as that of my own.

The noise pollution that would be caused by the excavation will negatively impact the surrounding residents and disrupt every day life and also potentially damage surrounding structures as has happened before with similar excavation in the area. A building of this height would ruin the Mosman village atmosphere, and would stick out like a sore thumb as it dwarfs all other buildings around it, it will also ruin the privacy of the properties around it as several units will look down on the private areas of the surrounding properties.
The increase in traffic both from the construction vehicles which will also add to the noise pollution, and from the sheer density of residents planned for this building will overwhelm the streets which are already at capacity.
I would also like to raise attention to the incessant calls from realestate agents who call almost to a degree of harassment whenever a neighbouring property is on the market and make ridiculous offers to pressure property owners into a sale not to make affordable housing, but to turn a profit as the developer has not provided any information on the affordability of the units.
I also wish to bring to light the developers choice to make this proposal at the state level thus circumventing Mosman council and making it harder for residents to be aware of the proposal and to respond to it.

This proposal is not in keeping with the area it is proposed to be built. It puts a building that is totally overscale right next to beautiful heritage houses, permanently ruining the area for all to enjoy. I live in the area and enjoy walking around the area and going to the beach. This building is so much higher than everything around it at 10 storeys and will be an eyesore. I am not against good quality development, and there are some lovely examples around Mosman, including a number of the recent Helm developments, but this proposal has excessive height and bulk, and is trying to take advantage of the affordable housing loophole to get more storeys to effectively sell high end premium properties and maximise profits for the developer. Worse, the proposal for a 'poor door' for the affordable housing component goes against Australian values around equity and inclusion, and should not be tolerated. All apartments should be able to be accessed through a common lobby, not a separate entrance for the cheaper apartments.
The proposed site also sits within the Scenic Protection Zone within 60 metres of the shoreline. Tall buildings of 4-8 storeys are appropriate on main roads in the area, such as the Spit Rd crest that already has similar tall developments and limited heritage value. This Redan St site requires development that is in keeping with the area to preserve the history of the suburb and this city. The area was developed early in Sydney's history, and we should not throw away the heritage value for all to enjoy, for the profit of only a few.
Traffic management and appropriate infrastructure to support this style of massive development are not in place. I have personally been campaigning for a bus route just so kids can get to school more easily in the local area, and the NSW government have failed to support this in spite of there being an existing bus route and they only need to add a stop to the route to an extra school! If simple requests for additional infrastructure and public transport cannot be met, what hope is there that all these additional apartments will be appropriately served by state and local government.
