Middle Head Aged Care development proposal is greedy, big and conspicuous

Submission to Sydney Harbour Federation Trust11 December 2013By Bruce CunninghamReproduced with permissionDear Sir,The adapted usage of the Middle Head parklands, has to date, been exemplary. The elegance and simplicity of the existing structures is central to the success of the project.The proposed plans for the aged care facility are way out of keeping with the existing theme.*  The new buildings are in stark disharmony with the heritage structures*  The continuum structure which replaces the three 'demolished' buildings is confronting*  It's a bit greedy. Too big. Too conspicuous.Reversion to green space would be my choice. An aged care option is reasonable but would have to be scaled back to permit a dignified coexistence with the other structures ( and tenants who have shown extraordinary restraint.)Bruce CunninghamMosman
