Our concerns include: traffic concerns; blocks of flats alongside receive NO sunlight during winter solstice; lack of environmental initiatives within development…eg residents will have to keep their windows closed to minimise noise from traffic; outside council's code eg height, distances from adjoining properties; neighbouring properties are limited in height to 3 storeys; recommended for refusal by town planner


November 2006: The completed development. Clearly outside Council's height code. Note the flats within the roof.



October 2003: Whole of site cleared. Developers have commenced building.
