The proposed design is disproportionately narrow and high, bulky, and lacking any aesthetic appeal. It will dominate the streetscape and is out of keeping with surrounding buildings.
Although parking requirements are met, they still seem inadequate given the location and problems already experienced by local shoppers.
The lack of external windows ( apart from front and year) would appear to make the interiors dark, claustrophobic and gloomy.
In my opinion, this is a very poor design and will not enhance the local environment in any way.
I would urge Council to reject this application.
