72 Bank Street, North Sydney NSW 2060

Concerned about the affect of this action in a street that has significant heritage housing.

Unable to tell what is planned to 'arise from the ashes' of this demolition in this heritage area. Nor am I able to see any major issues here requiring a demolition. Unless it is compatible with and sympathic to existing stock, it shouldn't be demolished. Renovation, sympathetic to existing stock, must be a demonstrable outcome. Can't see this from what I've had access to. Until this can be demonstrated I cannot support the application. If the council can show that it is sympathic to the existing housing stock in the area and has the agreement of local residents then it should not proceed.

My back garden is directly opposite the back garden of this property, across Antrum St.

I am completely supportive of the DA as the current dwelling is of very poor standing and needs completely replacing (I've been in there many times). I understand that the owners will be replicating the heritage front of the current property and that the replacement property will be much more durable in the long term.

I am also aware that the street has many heritage buildings which have been successfully replaced in a positive way for the benefit of us all for years to come.

I honestly can't see why anyone would object to a much better built, almost exactly the same looking property.
