Please...no more "multi dwelling townhouses" where people end up crammed into small spaces yet paying a fortune with little to no garden. This isn't Sydney. 9 tiny shoe box units were just approved across the road from me which I disapproved of because they're too small to be equitable and comfortable for elderly people. Now another five units that will no doubt be small, yet sell for a fortune. Please just stop. This isn't Sydney, and at least for a long while yet, it never should be. I fear the blue mountains will lose what makes it special, ecological & environmental in the first place if it continues to be filled with lots of crammed units. NSW conservative state government (who seem to be development obsessed!) please keep your paws off our Blue Mountains. Thank you so much.

I agree wholeheartedly with Kat. The more we approve multi dwellings the more we lose the ambience of what makes this a world heritage area. Also, as tourism seems to now play such a large part in planning - having interviewed tourists visiting the mountains regarding proposed changes a few years ago to the local Environment Plan, the main reason people said they enjoyed coming up here was because of the natural environment and because we don't have high rise, housing congestion or traffic congestion. Well, things are changing and if we value heritage, it would be good to start saying NO to prposed developments like this.
