The proposal is for the erection of a part 2 storey,
part 3 storey dwelling house on this site which has a partly constructed
dwelling house.
Councillors, stakeholders, observers and advisors were
welcomed by the Mayor, Clr Longbottom.
The site is currently overgrown and largely not able
to be viewed safely. As such the site
was inspected from adjoining properties at 37 and
Issues discussed included:
· Bulk and
scale of the proposed building
· Appropriateness
of tree removal, noise and visual impact from bushland.
· Appropriateness
of balcony widths
· The Mayor
requested clarification as to the status of a large Turpentine tree scheduled
for removal.
Councillors heard from the applicant and their
advisors and a number of adjoining neighbours as part of the site inspection.
The Mayor thanked all people attending for their input
and advised that the development would be considered by Council at its meeting
of 6 April 2009.
That the report be received and noted. |
