I am a student at the University of Technology, Sydney studying the Bachelor of Architecture. The assessment is based on this site and it would be great if we could see the drawings of the buildings. Thank you for your time and I anticipate to hear from you shortly.

I have no problem demolishing the 1969 section of the building. However I am concerned about the construction of a 13 story tower block as this is far in excess of the size of tower blocks for the area and am concerned about the aesthetic impact of such a block, particularly next to a high significance heritage building.

Secondly, I am also concerned about the traffic effects on Cleveland / Chalmers Streets given these are already highly congested.

Thirdly what will be impact to the Prince Alfred Park? It is a fabulous park enjoyed by local people and having an extra 1,200 students spill out onto the park for recreation and other purposes sounds like it will significantly reduce the pleasure and enjoyment of this space.

I live only one block away from the site so I am very in tune with these impacts. I would prefer a more modest plan fitting with the character of the area, traffic issues and use of public park space; if this cannot be achieved then I object to the plan in its current form.

The proposed 13 storey tower is a gross over development of a busy and sensitive site.

The site currently houses a small school that does not have any adverse impact on traffic, or the amenity of residents. The proposed site seeks to bring a large influx of students and by proxy their parents, to what is already a very busy vehicular area. The added mass will cause no end of traffic disruption and may well make it difficult to ensure the safety of pedestrian and students without causing undue interruption to traffic flow.

The addition of a large body of students, parents and teachers will cause loss of amenity for resident. Prince Alfred Park, the pool and the tennis courts for which the residents sufferd and paid for over a long period may well now serve as an extension to the schools grounds and play areas.

The height of the tower is totally out of keeping with the area and shows total lack of regard to the are and the sensitivities. It will be the proverbial pimple on a pumpkin and will cause loss of privacy, overshadowing. The proposed volume of users will require exit and entrances to occur via the park side causing more congestion and loss of amenity for residents .

This is a gross over development and proposed use and introduces a scale of architecture that is very incongruous to the corner of a very important public park. The application should be rejected
