I feel the proposed development has failed to take into account the local community's needs, fails to consider the infrascruture avalible and has little aesthetic merit
This large site needs careful planning, which actually caters for the needs and wants of the existing thriving community that use the square and magdalen street, not gentrification. The idea of a 25 storey tower block is completely out of keeping with then area, and would be a huge mistake. The plan also fails to consider the cutural impact of evicting over 100 artists from studio spaces (Outpost, Print to the People) and charities such as Men's Shed. Also the traffic impact of 1000+ homes would be extremely worrying, with Pitt Street, St Augustines St and Magdalen St being already heavily congested at peak times.
