DA Proposals

This image, created by heritage architects, Jeff Madden & Associates of Balmain, represents part of the final integrated development application to be submitted to Sydney City Council and the Heritage Council of NSW. The primary feature of this image is the cast iron and sandstone fence.

This fence design is based upon fences attached to similar heritage properties in Sydney and is considered to be a traditional design for the period.

Update September 2019: currently The Sydney City Council will not support this part of the intended DA in their pre-DA considerations. The reasons given are 1. the partial intrusion into the public domain and 2. the “wall effect” on the western corner (which is partially there anyway). Therefore the new revised integrated development application will have to abandon the fence concept.

The previous DA for the removal of the verandah infill wall was rejected by the Heritage Council of NSW and an appeal to this was lodged with the Minister. This appeal has also been rejected. Despite several requests by the applicant no reasons have been given for the rejection.
