The local and wider community should be extremely grateful that the owner of this property and the adjoining one (formerly Victoria House) has sympathetically restored the existing dwellings while unobtrusively adding additional, contemporary accommodation to the rear.
This proposal, although necessitating the demolition of an existing residence, will result in a visually pleasing result, with a very sympathetic new dwelling and underground parking and squash courts. The dwelling is single story and fits nicely with the streetscape. The choice of dry pressed bricks for external finish purposes is also most pleasing.
It’s a shame more developers don’t follow this example as the number of cookie cutter, sterile, boundary to boundary, dual occupancy developments progressively ruin our streetscapes!
