These properties are heritage overlay. 1850-1875 - Early Victorian (City of Melbourne Heritage review 1999 adopted), demolishing these to build a 3 story apartment block with (as per second application) reduced car parking will be a blight on the existing street facade, out of character of the surrounding properties not to mention the already limited permit parks available in the area.
Additionally the height will significantly block city views and light into the existing dwellings in Trafalgar Place, Webbs Lane and Raglan street.
Maintaining our heritage properties and heights should be the utmost importance in planning considerations.
