‘Boutique’ North Wollongong Apartment Block Faces Rejection
A proposed apartment block in North Wollongong is facing potential rejection due to concerns over its size. The development consists of ten units, with one unit designated for the applicant and their family, and the remaining units varying between three and four bedrooms. Notably, no one or two-bedroom units are included in the plans.
The upper unit in the apartment block is designed as a spacious four-bedroom unit with an additional study. It is intended to be occupied by the applicant and their family. The remaining nine units in the development are a combination of three and four-bedroom layouts.
However, some officials have expressed concerns about the size of the proposed apartment block. Described as “very bulky,” the development may be seen as imposing on the surrounding area. The lack of smaller units also raises questions about the diversity and affordability of the housing options available within the complex.
The rejection of the apartment block would mean a setback for the applicant, who had hoped to provide spacious accommodation for their family in a prime location. However, local authorities are tasked with ensuring that developments are in line with planning regulations and do not disrupt the character and scale of the existing neighborhood.
It remains to be seen how the decision will unfold and whether any potential modifications or compromises will be considered to address the concerns raised. To read the original article, click here.
