Just like to point out the minimal four story buildings in the local area (as detailed in the Town Planning RFI updates pack).
Northcote/Thornbury is known for its beautiful townhouses and the lack of medium density buildings is a key attraction for residents.
I have just attended the Emmaline St Christmas party this evening and there appears to be a general sense of concern with the introduction of a four story apartment building. Given there are numerous other three storey apartment buildings (including across the road of Emmaline St and Gadd St) it would be appropriate for this project to also be restricted to three storeys.
If you visit Gadd St which has numerous three storey buildings you will notice how claustrophobic and congested that street has become - please reject the four story proposal and keep Northcote apartment block free!
Sincerely,
An Emmaline St Neighbour.
