A Development Application, DA0565/18, for Seniors Living Development and People with Disability consisting of 6 units, a 12 vehicles underground carpark, ambulance and garage truck access, has be submitted for 27 Braeside Street Wahroonga.
27 Braeside Street is situated in the Ku-ring-gai Heritage Conservation Area (HCA). A HCA is an area recognised and valued for its special historical and aesthetic character. Important elements that contribute to the heritage significance of a HCA include the architectural style of buildings, fences, trees and gardens.
The Ku-ring-gai Council cannot stop Senior Living Development applications as the NSW State legislation trumps local planning controls.
If DA0565/18 is approved, the third oldest home in the area, which was owned by the first major of Ku-ring-gai will be significantly disfigured. This sets a dangerous precedent in Wahroonga, Warrawee and Heritage Conservation Areas. This will encourage developers to target Wahroonga, Warrawee and HCAs for medium density in form of seniors-living housing developments. The beauty, character and heritage our area is known, for will be permanently lost.
If you are opposed to medium density developments in Wahroonga, Warrawee and HCAs, please sign the petition below.
Addressed to:
Ku-ring-gai Mayor Jennifer Anderson
Cr Cedric Spencer (Wahroonga Ward)
Cr Donna Greenfield (Wahroonga Ward)
