To Whom it may concern, I have been living in Mosman for 20 years and i am very familiar with the location of this proposed large development at 40-48 Redan St as a regulary walk the streets of Mosman for exercise. There is no infrastructure planned to accommodate the influx of new residents to Mosman with regards to public transport in this exact area. The current buses from the Ferry at Taronga Zoo traveling down Military Rd to Spit road and the City are all at capacity and some days services are cancelled. If these new residence at Redan St can not rely on public transport then they will be forced to drive (and park ) around the narrow streets of Mosman that are already clogged. Please consider solving the major public transport issues in the area before approving large apartments. Kind Regards

I object to this development.
There is inadequate infrastructure in the suburb to deal with the increased traffic that will occur. There are already traffic jams most times of the day at the traffic lights at raglan/military road. There have been no increase in public transports or local schools to deal with a higher population. There is limited street access. There are traffic jams in peak hours in and out of mosman already.

Mosman has an important role to play in helping meet the housing needs of the broader Sydney community. As a well-located suburb with strong amenities and close proximity to the city, it is natural that more people are seeking the opportunity to live here.
Thoughtful, well-designed development is a necessary part of responding to today’s housing realities, and it is important that Mosman continues to evolve in line with current needs.
I have seen firsthand how valuable this can be for older residents in particular. Many of my elderly neighbours have chosen to sell their homes to downsize, but would prefer to remain in the community they know and love. Developments like this provide an opportunity for them to stay local, while benefiting from modern, more manageable housing.
This proposal represents a positive step forward—supporting housing supply, strengthening community continuity, and ensuring Mosman remains inclusive and accessible for people at all stages of life. I fully support it.

Good afternoon,
I strongly object to this proposal in its current form. I understand we need to create diversity of housing however, this cannot be achieved at the significant expense of existing residents. All developments must be built sustainably and carefully so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past. In its current form this proposal is a misuse of the intent of the LMR Policy. It is such for the following reasons:
- The winner here appears to be the developer, not the NSW public. A 'key worker' (police officer, cafe worker, nurse, etc) referenced in this proposal is highly unlikely able to afford the a multi million dollar home in this 'sort after' area/development. Has the developer considered subsiding rent of the affordable homes with some of their profits?
- The enormous scale and bulk of this proposal is inappropriate for a scenic protection area and would create significant privacy, view, sunlight and amenity impacts
- The linear, repeatable design is extremely inconsistent with the character and heritage homes surrounding the development
- The 10 storey proposal would dwalf surrounding homes, outside the LMR, creating a 2-tiered landscape which is inconsistent with equality drivers.
- The Hong Kong style / high rise landscape is unlikely to be the landscape residents signed up for when they moved to picturesque Balmoral Slopes, potentially creating a mass exodus. It is also not the landscape tourists expect when they come here - potentially impacting tourist revenue.
- An additional 100+ carspace's and 53 homes will put an immense strain on local infrastructure, traffic and services not planned or budgeted for, significantly impacting the living standards of existing residents.
- A 9.3m excavation is a significant cut into the ground/sandstone and would need to be a very delicate exercise given the protected heritage of surrounding homes and reserves.
As I said, I am all for improvement, but my strong recommendation would be to reconsider the design to ensure it is more appropriate, sustainable and does not reduce the living standards of current residents.
Many thanks for your consideration.

Various reasons, including:
10 storey building out of scale with surrounding area which is predominantly low rise
Development adjoins heritage listed properties (36 and 38 Redan St) - will take away from the heritage nature of the area and erode character of the street
This area is a Scenic Protection area - the development appears to be in direct conflict with this
Traffic concerns - on both Redan street, but primarily the access via Redan Lane, which is a safety concern
Infrastructure: Large developments without additional infrastructure - Military Road is already an area of congestion and adding this scale of additional units without additional infrastructure is reckless.
The development exceeds height controls
There is inadequate affordable housing - only including the bare minimum so that the development can be approved - adding yet more luxury/high end units to an area already heavy on high end units.
Concern that, if this development is approved, it will lead to the approval of further similar large scale developments, irreversibly changing the look and feel of the area

I support the project, I believe it will significantly increase housing affordability and availability in the area.

I would however, like to see the number of storeys significantly increased

I have attached my letter of objection.
