North Sydney Council area is required by the state government to increase its population by about 15,000 residents within the next 15 years. Way too much of this increase is seen as a multi story development bonanza by local and foreign owned companies. Think we have seen too many of the outcomes of such developments so far this century.
There are literally hundreds and hundreds of similar properties to 73 Burlington Street within this council's area that could fill the population increase quota required by the NSW government, without destroying the current nature of housing within this area. These 'London Mews' type developments/upgrades will afford us increase housing/accommodation without destroying the current look and feel of the local community.
I therefore STRONGLY support this application and suggest the council put in place a standard application acceptance and approval process that can EXPEDITIOUSLY approve such applications going forward, before we end up with more residential building canyons like Pacific Highway (from North Sydney to St Leonards), like the WHOLE of Alfred Street South in Milsons Point/Lavender Bay, etc.
