I'm all for more higher density dwellings along the light rail corridor, but nine stories seems pretty high for this area. I'm concerned this isn't really consistent with the inner north development plan. I'm worried about shading and wind tunnel effects along Northbourne and surrounding areas.
Does 9 stories fit within the framework for height AMSL? I believe Increased heights which breach the planning framework can only be approved by call in powers?
All other buildings along Northbourne in this precinct excepting Axis (which was built in contradiction to the Planning legislation of the time) are 5-7 stories.
The 'height creep' for buildings which sit above the framework height guidelines along Northbourne should only be considered at nodal points along the corridor, not at developer discretion.
