It's hard enough to find parking now, let alone if another goes up. The traffic is horrendous, I can only imagine what it'll be like if another multi-story development goes ahead. The more apartments that are erected the more our houses will de-value. No One will want to buy a house close to a block of apartments.

Kind regards

Where is all the architecture from the past going to be for people to admire soon! We are so young by comparison to OS countries and yet we go to these places to admire the beautiful old buildings Then we quite happily knock anything we have that's histrory & remotely old down. Lets leave some of our own intact for us and our children and tourists to also admire in the future!

A second tower continues to be of excessive height in contravention of Yarra planning guidelines and will further aggravate traffic and parking issues in the location.

The increased private vehicle traffic and lack of parking will quickly render Swan street an environmental catastrophe.

I do not want Dimmeys to be removed or replaced. It is a significant part of our local heritage and a darn good place to shop.

People come to Richmond for its historic inner city features and it is counterproductive to construct a building of this kind that will overpower, dominate and negate the existing historic character of the area.

Glass towers are ugly. Look at Docklands,one glass pylon after another-what a disaster! The individual characteristics of our suburbs are diminishing. We already have enough ugliness in Richmond designed by so called architects who are allowed to display their egos in the name of progress-some designs are so abstract they remain looking like a construction site even after they are finished!

This store should be listed as a heritage building.

The visual impact of two tall buildings, so close to the Dimmey's Clock Tower will dominate the iconic landmark in the skyline. The developers have been quick to advertise, the historical significance of the site to customers by including a picture of the Dimmey's clock tower on their billboard but in
the development of the second tower they are diminishing what is unique about Richmond.

Trying to drive up Swan St is already difficult, car parks in the areas, other than the Coles carpark, are impossible to find. Please don't wreck our local community. I walk to Swan St every day and support local businesses, but increasing the number of residents/workers in the area by that much will kill our little community.

All I can see these days is so many cranes in the sky putting up those "Butt ugly" apartments and townhouses. Yarra Council and the Planning Minister should go and look for for other jobs because what they are doing now is criminal and destroying beautiful RICHMOND.

I live directly across from the site and firmly believe that this development does not belong in the area at all. 8 stories is way out of charecter with the area and will present all sorts of problems , both with parking , congestion privacy and lots more

Demand for on-street parking would adversely affect current residents. Railway Place is a narrow two-way street with parking on the Northern Side only.

Increased traffic congestion in surrounding streets generated from additional vehicles.

Scale, height & architectural quality do not respond to the site. A monolithic appearance. Will visually dominate heritage precinct immediately abutting the site. Proposal not in keeping with character of surrounding streets. Does not contribute to public realm. Design mass has not been setback. Railway Place is a narrow street and will exacerbate parking problems. Yarra Council should refuse to Grant the Planning Permit
