We enjoy living in a quiet and friendly suburb surrounded with many beautiful trees. Our area is an ideal place for downsizers, very convenient, yet very quiet. WE DO NOT WANT ANY 9 SOREY APARTMENT BLOCKS which would destroy our beautiful nature and disturb peace and quiet in our neighbourhood! Instead, please build more medium density, spacious high-quality blocks more suitable for downsizers. There is a huge demand for such accommodation in Lindfield.

This is inapropriate development. It is too large/bulky and incompatible with the neighbourhood. Inapropriate without thought to traffic and parking, schools, roads, green space infrastructure to accomodate. Heritage and environment impact studies need to be done before, NOT after approval. Do not allow this proposal.

I would like to object to the proposal to build a gigantic apartment complex in a quiet residential street in Lindfield. A 32m high building is comically oversized next to 2 story homes and will take away our sunlight and privacy. The balconies all around are too close to the neighbouring homes, and the multiple rooftop decks would be confronting to me.
I'm concerned about the creek flowing through the site. Any increase of water in that creek could cause flooding for other properties. Rainfall can no longer seep into the ground when the site is sealed up. I also worry about the habitat of the many water dragons and birds in the area.
If you must build, please consider reducing the excessive height and build fewer apartments.
Thank you for your consideration!

Objection to Residential Development with affordable housing 1-5 Nelson Road Lindfield (SSD-82899468)

Dear Sir/Madam:
I have reviewed public documents online regarding the 1-5 Nelson Road Lindfield development project (hereinafter referred to as the "Project"). These documents completely disregard basic facts and common sense in their assessments of the surrounding neighborhood and environment, visual impact, historic heritage conservation areas, heritage items, and municipal amenities. They are replete with misrepresentations and even distorted statements and conclusions. I strongly oppose this "Project" which under the guise of "in-fill affordable housing" pursues profit maximization, wantonly destroys the beautiful environment of Lindfield's existing historic conservation area, and severely impacts the basic right to sunlight for surrounding residents.

KInd Regards
SHAN

This project is within the heritage conversation area, and outside the original TOD. It exceeds 32m - the maximum permitted building height, and it is incompatible with the neighbourhood streetscape. The impact of high-density apartments, increased traffic flow, and parking requirements would severely affect the living standards of existing residents. Most importantly, we cannot risk damaging the existing tree canopy and mature trees in the area, as they are vital to our efforts for a greener and more sustainable environment.

This building is too high and will affect the lives of surrounding residents.

Where do you start. Firstly what do you call is affordable housing. What is median of a two bedroom unit sold in the surrounding streets. Are the developers going to lock in a selling price of $800,000 for a two bedroom unit. No they will not!!!!. All the streets around the station are congested with park cars and traffic. These State proposals will has killed the family homes. Cars are parked on both sides of the road. it is already difficult to get around with oncoming traffics. School kids have to battle the traffic during peak hour. Has the state government research the area before going ahead. What has happen to the preservation of the environment. I can understand the proposal for low density housing like townhouses not 9 storeys . Does Mr Minns live in Lindfield ? . The junction of Nelson and Tryon Road is a nightmare to drive through . Services are not upgraded . I have not seen any funding for parks, schools, roads etc... Nursing homes are sold to make way for developers. The one on Tryon Road was sold. Most employees were ask to look for another job.

The project aims to build a ridiculously oversized residential apartment at the heart of a traditionally silent and peaceful conservation area. As a neighbour living on Nelson Road, I strongly object this project for the following reasons:
1. The designated location of this project occupies 3 land lots with only 1 lot (1 Nelson Road) is included in the state government's TOD area. None of the 3 is in the council's preferred TOD area. This location is not appropriate for such development in either view.
2. Local infrastructure will not be able to accommodate 200 more families. Nelson road is already suffering congestion during peak hours and school zone. Many local residents choose to park their cars on Nelson road for public transport. Without sufficient upgrades to Nelson road and commuter parking, this project will ruin the local transport.
3. The project aims to build a 9 storey apartment with a height of near 30m. This will be the tallest building in a low density residential area. The neighbouring houses will suffer serious overshadowing and privacy issues due to this apartments. There is no solution to resolve these issues.
4. All three land lots of the project are in the conservation area, the construction of such oversized building will ruin local environment and biodiversity.
5. There are several heritage items near this designated location. There is no transition between the concrete monster and these heritage items.
6. The construction of this building will make serious noise and traffic issue on Nelson Road for a long time. This will adversely affect both local neighbours and the Cromehurst school nearby.

Please seriously consider the above points. It is a shame for such disastrous project lodged as a "State Significant Development".

This development is in an already very busy traffic area, with narrow passing and speed reduction humps outside the public school. Parking is busy all week due to commuters to the railway station.
The development directly borders beautiful old homes on three sides.
