Current Development applications of Concern:
93-105 Auburn Road, Auburn

 

Old Venture site. Building work has halted as Woolworths are no longer going to locate to this site. The building is approved at 8 storeys at the Auburn Rd frontage (shown here). This is not sympathetic to any development nearby!

Looking down Auburn Rd. Building site on far left of photo is owned by same developer, and is being built as a 2 storey commercial development. Chicken shop in between will be restricted in what they can do with their site, as both neighbouring properties will have new developments on them.

View of site from Harrow Rd. The building will be 8 storeys at Harrow Rd.

Harrow Rd.. Baptist Church shown will be sandwiched between a 7 storey and an 8 storey building, if current applications at Council are approved.

Address:  93-105 Auburn Road   (old venture site)

Our concerns include: traffic concerns, exceeds height  limit; units in building opposite in Harrow Rd will be provided roller shutters and need to close windows to keep out noise from the development; height is more than council controls allow…contrary to view of streetscape envisaged by strategic town planners when council’s development guidelines were put together; much higher than any other development in the vicinity and is on ‘high’ side of shopping centre; is not sympathetic to historical Church next door or school opposite; is 8 storeys at Harrow Rd, when houses opposite are limited to 3 storeys; traffic issues, 17 units have no solar access, many need to have thicker glass because of noise from the site….height of this development is the equivalent of 9.7 residential floors.
