New Plans Must Be Made Public
Posted in Lewisham on April 29th, 2012 by Richard – Comments OffFollowing the approval of the development application for the Lewisham Towers site, NoLewishamTowers has written to Planning Minister Brad Hazzard asking him to step in and make the revised plans available to the public.
The development was given conditional approval, meaning that new plans will have to be drawn up by the developer to include:
- more central open space area with more sunlight
- clear definition of public and private open space areas
- increased space between buildings
NoLewishamTowers are concerned that if the new plans are not made public there may be a repeat of the original review process, when a lack of rigour by the Department of Planning meant that it was left to NLT to point out the errors and omissions in the developers plans.
NoLewishamTowers is calling on minister Brad Hazzard to guarantee the new plans will be made public, and that NLT and Marrickville Council will have the opportunity to review the plans to ensure they meet the requirements set by the Planning Assessment Committee.
