The new proposed buildings along the eastern boundary facing neighbouring
properties along Peach Tree Road are too bulky with long rectilinear
blocks that overshadows the existing properties along Peach Tree Road.
The bulkiness of the new buildings also inhibits natural cross
ventilation.

Also too many mature native trees have been earmarked for removal
causing loss of privacy and inceased heat along the eastern boundary.

Current demolitions works created too much noise and dust.

When preparing all these documents for SEARS, I am afraid the applicant
has given little thought regarding neighboring properties.
Ever since the existing planning controls are enforced, a lot of
developments are underway in Macquarie Park. Has the applicant done
any research regarding any Development Applications (Approved, lodged/
or in preparation) on neighboring properties? In the shadow diagram
analysis, wind environment study and traffic assessment, all
neighboring properties are shown as they are now. For an 8.2-hectare
site, without consideration of development status/potentials on
neighboring properties, this application is NOT well prepared.
In addition, the orientation of buildings along the boundary with
Peach Tree Road will largely impact the privacy on neighboring
property.
Recommendation: Please research the status of all the neighboring
properties and analyze and minimize the impact on them.

Traffic will be a big trouble, will delay because so many cars and
parkings.

I object to this proposal.

My concerns are as follows:

1. The proposed set backs of 6m and 10m are not compliant and need to
be set back a minimum of 12m from the boundary of the Peachtree Rd
buildings.

2. The proposed buildings will considerably overshadow the Peachtree
Rd buildings in the afternoons.

3. The orientation of the proposed will result in a loss of privacy to
the Peachtree Rd buildings.

Propose to removal of the trees both mature and endanger of the proposed
site.
Provisions of over 3000 homes are excessive for the area and create
heavy traffic to the local areas, impact on the further congestion and
traffic delays.
Over development of the local areas and insufficient infrastructure
and facilities provided.

In November 2012, the NSW Government endorsed Macquarie University
Station (Herring Road) as a Priority Precinct. The Precinct sought
significant changes to the site planning controls. The Precinct was
finalized on 1 October 2015, and these controls have not come into
force.
Based on the existing LEP, the FSR for Ivanhoe Estate is 2.9:1. But as
put forward in Appendix Q_ Clause 4.6 Variation_ Ethos Urban, the
applicant seeks to increase FSR to 3.6:1. This is almost 25% increase
of the existing FSR.
It is less than three years since the planning controls were uplifted
last time. Now the applicant seeks another dramatic increase. This
report (Appendix Q) is not persuasive at all and has failed to justify
the increase.
Recommendation: Please follow the existing planning controls.

According to Appendix E_ Biodiversity Assessment_ Eco Logical, there
exists lots of Turpentine tress on site.
Turpentine is represented in the Sydney Turpentine Ironbark Forest
ecological community. Sydney Turpentine Ironbark Forest is listed as
an endangered ecological community under the Threatened Species
Conservation Act 1995 and Environment Protection and Biodiversity
Conservation Act 1999.
Based on Drawing DA01.MP.001[3], most of these trees are intended for
removal. While this is proposed on the plan, the Ecologist report has
failed to identify ecological and heritage value of these tress, thus
failed to justify the proposed removal of these trees.
Recommendation: the building envelop should be designed to retain as
many trees as possible.
