Here's an extract from the ACC's Jan 21 DAP minutes. The approval(?) decision was deferred "to enable the applicant to incorporate the retention of existing streetscape..."

Does this mean retention of the existing buildings is mandatory?

It's amazing what a small thing like a paint job can do sometimes to a building. older buildings renovated can be far more attractive and appealing than modern glass facades. i can't be even bothered getting into this with narrow minded people like you, so please refer to my last submission on the last page.

Hippodamus wrote:ok, maybe a bit of a harsh over reaction shuz, but perhpas a valid one at that

it appears that everyone who responded to your last post see some significance in keeping these buildings. who ever said that we must keep only 'heritage' listed buildings or ones that have 'heritage' appeal. i hate that 'heritage' word, it implies so much yet is so narrow. people's minds go straight to the typical 1880's style of edwardian architecture... preservation of architecture means so much more than that! what about preservations of streetscape and urban realm? there are other intersting buildings worth keeping, and this lane way holds some of them.
