Stop fast-tracking the James Packer consortium plan for Kew Junction


Stop fast-tracking the James Packer consortium plan for Kew Junction
The issue
· We have been given no notice or opportunity to know about / participate in discussions about this proposal of such a detrimental significant size and impact
· It is a huge visual intrusion of mega size and mega height
· These 4 towers of up to 18 storeys will be a blaze of artificial lights
· These mega 4 towers will create a huge block to our sunlight and overshadow all around it
· This huge visual intrusion will overlook everyone and everywhere – we have privacy rights
· This block of 4 towers with some 200 dwellings, 18 shops, 1 Supermarket and 419 car spaces will add significant car emissions / all other made man emissions / waste, to our environment in substantial negative way
· We will have so much loud and constant and extra NOISE to our environment and community
· We will have so much more traffic added to our already busy and congested Kew Junction making us all less SAFE
