Our concerns include: inappropriate development as site is surrounded by single houses, outside council height limits, many units receive poor solar access, built across different land zonings; against town planner's recommendation. Not in spirit of 'shopping centre or commercial development'.
Looking up John St towards site, the houses at the corner and the first two shops form part of this 7 storey development. Also included is the brick house at the top of Childs St.
