====================================
PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT ACT 1987 - YARRA PLANNING SCHEME. CITY OF YARRA. OBJECTION TO GRANT OF PLANNING PERMIT. SUBMISSION TO YARRA CITY COUNCIL. WHAT APPLICATION DO YOU OBJECT TO? APPLICATION REFERENCE NO: PLN10/0734
APPLICATION: USE & DEVELOPMENT OF LAND FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF 1O STOREY MIXED USE DEVT OVER TWO BASEMENT LEVELS, INCL REFURBISHMENT WORKS TO THE RETAINED FACADE; USE OF LAND FOR THE PURPOSE OF RETAIL, DWELLINGS, OFFICES AND ART & CRAFT CENTRES; ROAD WORKS TO GREEN ST INCLUDING THE INSTALLATION OF A BICYCLE PATH; AND A REDUCTION IN THE CAR PARKING AND BICYCLE PARKING REQUIREMENTS OF THE YARRA PLANNING SCHEME.
LAND: 140 SWAN ST, RICHMOND 3121. THE APPLICANT IS: RICHMOND ICON PTY LTD. PLANNED FX PTY LTD.
REASONS FOR OBJECTION: We the undersigned hereby submit to Yarra City Council that the application to demolish the rear and interiors of DIMMEYS DEPARTMENT STORE (Heritage Place No. H2184), mutilation of the mural, and construct a Ten (10) Storey High Rise Glass Tower SHOULD BE REFUSED, and formally OBJECT TO THE GRANT OF PLANNING PERMIT to Richmond Icon Pty Ltd. PLN10/0734. The proposal will result in an unacceptable loss of heritage fabric, while the revised plans for Ten (10) Storeys is again repetition of unacceptable bulk on the heritage site. The proposal would diminish the amenity of the Swan Street shopping precinct, and demean the landmark Dimmeys Clock Tower, and establishes a new Richmond Icon tower in the area. The Richmond Icon Pty Ltd tower is incompatible as it stands beside and contests with the heritage Dimmeys Clock Tower. In lodging this OBJECTION, I believe that I would be affected for the aforementioned reasons.
