We enjoyed preparing this statement of Heritage Impact, for minor alterations at 12 Chuter Street, McMahons Point which is a contributory heritage item in the Union, Bank, and Thomas, Streets Conservation Area on the North Sydney LEP.  The proposal was for removal and re-insertion of skylights, replacement of damaged roof sheeting, and internal reconfiguration of the interior of the attic. 

This area related to two residential subdivisions of the mid-nineteenth century on land granted to William Blue and sub-divided by his son-in-law William Chuter. The area is characterised by dense development with the dominant character of 19th and early 20th century sandstone workers’ and seafarers’ cottages.
