What a disappointingly narrow view to take of our city. As others have already pointed out, these reasons have no basis in reality. I'll grant that the East End faces a challenge with the closure of the RAH, that's something that can be tempered by the increasing amount of attractions in the area (more bars, for instance) and the earmarked eastwards tram extension. But, again, "run down" is a nonsense description.ghs wrote:Mate, I can't see how Rundle Street couldn't be described as "run down".I can't see how Rundle Street could be described even remotely as "run down". A lack of new buildings in an already developed area certainly doesn't indicate that it is run down, especially when several buildings have been or are being refurbished.
1) The buildings are old and there's not many which are higher then 10 levels.
2) There's new cinemas opening on Hindley street
3) All the night life is in the West End these days
4) There's a new hotel about to be constructed on Hindley Street.
5) It's too far to walk from Adelaide oval to the East End for a Pint after the game.
6) There will be a lack of vibrancy in the area next year when the existing RAH closes.
7) The East End is a long way from the casino which will most likely be upgraded in a few years time.
In my opinion the East end has nothing going for it these days. The west end is taking over.
RESOLVE to REFUSE Development Plan Consent to Development Application 020/A022/15, for a mixed use development, comprising works affecting State and Local Heritage places and the construction of a 23 level tower above for residential uses and associated car parking at 292-300 Rundle Street, Adelaide the reasons listed below:
.
- The proposed scale of the development is not sensitive to the intimate scale and intricate and diverse architectural features of Rundle Street and East Terrace and is not in keeping with the desired character for Rundle Street as a main street.
- The proposal is of such a form and scale that it negates the landmark quality of the Stag Hotel and is at odds with the provisions relating to heritage adjacency.
- The proposal is not appropriate in bulk and scale in the context of this location and does not satisfy the desired Character of the Main Street Policy Area 14 and Objective 6, which seek development that is consistent with the intimate scale and intricate and diverse architectural features of Rundle Street and will reinforce the existing two and three storey built scale. The development is not compatible with Principle of Development Control 7 which seeks the architectural expression and finishes with the many older existing buildings on Rundle Street and East Terrace.
- The development does not ensure a cohesive scale of development that responds to a buildings context and is at variance with the Capital City Zone Objective 7.
- The facilities for loading and unloading, delivery and service vehicles is not considered to be appropriate for the scale and nature of the development and the proposal is not consistent with Council Wide Provision of Development Control 241
