Please see my attached submission

I am an affected neighbour of the proposed redevelopment of Darling Harbour South, the subject of SSD Application SSD 5878.

I object to the proposal SSD 5878 and its companion SSD 5725.

My reasons, set out in detail in the main attachment to this submission, are that the proposals will be :
less useful to the immediate neighbourhood and to the NSW community, than what they replace;
more costly to the future users and its neighbours, in money and unrequited impacts;
more costly to taxpayers in that perfectly sound facilities, currently successfully in use, will be demolished to only be less effectively replaced by new ones;
less visually attractive than presently (also a cost or detriment to those who will have to look at them every day) and those yet to come, denied the relative beauty of what is there now;
the source of serious traffic and transport impacts on the surrounding district which have been underestimated, wrongly estimated or not estimated at all in the EIS;
unaffordable in the present economic climate by a government upon which more urgent social demands press ever harder, every day - ie the money value of the outlays and deferred undertakings supported by taxation (debt, future tax increases, subsidies, guarantees etc) are needed more urgently by other individuals or groups, or elsewhere in the State.

No good. I lose sun. I lose view. I see cement wall.
