It appears that the LAHC as a government is breaking the setback rules,
and in the meantime remove endangered trees along the boundary.

In regards to The proposal of Ivanhoe development - OBJECTION.

My objection is on the basis of reviewing the proposal and it can be
evident that the properties at Peachtree road has not been taken into
considerations at all.

For the below reasons, I am OBJECTING the proposal.

As it seems the laneway proposed on the shared boundary has been
removed and no longer to be build. This will provide poor public
access.

The design of proposed B1.1 and B.12 is inappropriate as it will cause
substantial privacy issues as well as natural airflow and natural
lighting issues.

Boundary setback of the northern side is way too high and too close to
our property.This setback will cause issues for all the residents
along peachtree road as the amount of open space is less which isn't
the best for young families and elderly living in the area. Majority
of the residents are young families and elderly.

Due to the above and many other reasons, I am objecting and against
this proposal of Ivanhoe.

I wish to lodge an objection to this development.

There are already thousands of units in the process of being built in
the area on top of the thousands that have been built in recent years.
Macquarie Park and surrounding suburbs are groaning under the weight
of a huge increase in traffic with roads impassable for many hours of
every day. Main roads are clogged and local roads are choked daily
from very early morning till late in the night and local trips that
took minutes can now take 30 minutes or more. The resulting noise and
fumes make this once beautiful garden area a very unpleasant place to
live.

Epping Road and Herring Road are unable to cope with the current load
of traffic and with the units at the old Stamford site still to be
filled it is only going to get worse. I live about 2km away from the
intersection but at times I am unable to exit my street due to the
traffic banked back up Herring Road and into surrounding roads.

The State Government has already stated it is building a new high
school nearby so a new one as part of this complex is not required. A
school in a high rise area is only going to increase traffic and noise
into what will be a very busy noisy area anyway.

There are already many nursing homes in the area that offer a variety
of housing options in pleasant surroundings so do we really need the
elderly housed in such an environment, in high rise buildings
surrounded by a lot of traffic and noise?
Most dwellings these days have more than one vehicle and with so many
residences planned in such a confined area there is no way that
sufficient parking can be provided, meaning the surrounding streets
will be full of extra vehicles. My street in Marsfield is full of cars
belonging to people living in the surrounding streets as they don't
have any available parking.

The excessive development that has occurred recently is making the
area appear almost like a slum. Cars and rubbish are everywhere and
roads are so torn up with the heavy traffic they were never designed
to take that some are little better than goat tracks. Property prices
in the area have fallen and the local crime rate has exploded
recently.

There are few if any new facilities provided for all the new
residences despite the promise of shops and restaurants, making it
almost impossible to shop in the shopping centres in the area and what
few restaurants are available are always so full you can't get a
reservation.

Ryde doesn't need any more high rise, high density housing and I
request that this development is rejected as it stands. The area
better suits buildings of similar height to what is currently there,
with a huge emphasis on trees and gardens to try and buffer the
traffic noise and try to offset the concrete jungle across to road at
the old Stamford site.

As a owner of the apartment on 7 Peach Tree Road, I object to the Ivanhoe
Estate planning which could potentially bring tall building to as
close as 6 meters from my property. Which will affect the light coming
in and quality of living in my property. Please review and change the
planning regarding the borders of the development.

Dear Planning and Environment,

I would like to object to the proximity of sites B1.1, B1.2, B2
proximity to the boundry line. This is only 6 metres in some sections.
I suggest that more of this area be used for open space instead.

Regards,

Viri

I object to the closeness of the buildings B1.1, B1.2 B2 to the boundary
fence. These buildings will be five storeys high and will not offer
sufficient private space for residents of the blocks on the opposite
side of the boundary line. Suggest more open space between the
buildings and the boundary line.

Dear Planning & Environment,

I would like to object to the distance of only 6 metres to the boundry
fence for buildings B1.1, B1.2 and B2. This distance is to close to
buidings on the otherside of the boundry, especially for a 5 storey
buiding.

Regards,

Em

5. It seems all buildings are very close to neighbouring buildings, are
they non-compliant with setback rules? The most important questions
are how they can both remove endangered trees and build even closer to
neighbors simultaneously?

6. The consultation period is rather tight, because it's holiday. I
can't even have enough time to discuss thoroughly with my friends who
are planning and development background. I think the process is a mess
and bad one.

7. What social infrastructure would be provided by Ivanhoe to the
whole area, especially along Herring Road? It doesn't make sense just
provide infrastructure and facilities into their own site, they should
benefit the whole Herring Road area / Macquarie Park Priority Precinct
and the whole area.

1. As Ivanhoe is a hugely significant development affecting the whole
area, I'm not sure if the notification letters were distributed to all
residents and land owners in the surrounding area, not only Herring
Road Precinct, but the whole Macquarie park Priority Precinct as well.
2. Both the intersection of Herring Road of Epping Road and the
Herring Road are largely congested. Also the potential signalising of
the intersections would be even worse by causing more waiting time. We
don't think any measures could alleviate the increasingly traffic
congestion along Herring Road, but Ivanhoe is adding more traffic
flow.
In addition, it should not only consider the Ivanhoe itself,
consenting authorities should take into all Herring Road's (all even
whole Macquarie Park's) future development into consideration and
analysis as a whole, because we are the end user of this area and we
can't object on project by project.
The fact is that we already realized that sites were sold and being
sold by various agents which could potentially provide 1000+ units,
how come Land and Housing Corporation as a Government simply thinks on
behalf of himself, instead of investigating all surrounding area's
existing and potential traffic congestion?
Ivanhoe's developers and consenting authorities should take into
account of all future Herring Road's development sites into analysis,
it seems that the Herring Road are the only access in and out of their
projects which will be killing us residents.
3.We see the advantage of the whole area as having so many nice big
and tall endangered trees, but very unfortunately, it seems they will
remove almost all of them. This is a rural tranquil area, but the
developer is turning it into an urban centre. We think it will break
up the endangered forest community.
4.Seems the street parking will be eliminated during construction
period, where I usually park there.
5.Seems buildings are very close to neighboring buildings, can they
remove endangered trees and break setback and privacy rules
simultaneously?

Dear Planning and Environment NSW,

I would like to object the proximity of sites B 1.1, B 1.2, B2 to lots
1, 3, 5 and 7 Peach Tree Road; only 6 metres in some sections to a
forty five metre building.

There should be more open space in between the sites.

Kind regards,

Duncan Tomlinson
