    I don't have an issue with the 'size' of this development, it's the height of the four dwellings over 7.5 metres, that is an issue as it will overdominate the entire Portarlington Hills area

  2. Heather commented

    Why is Council considering multi story buildings for this area? Not only too high they never build them with enough parking, usually one car space each.

  3. Prue Allan commented

    I am concerned about the height of these dwellings and how that will impact the landscape but also the privacy for houses they overlook. They are going to be on a hill, with a spectacular view do they really need to be 7.5 meters high. Sounds
    excessive.

  4. Celia Adams commented

    This is inappropriate development for Portarlington as the proposed height will make it visible from almost every point in the area. In other words visual pollution. Many people enjoy Portarlington because of the pleasing views, which will be impacted negatively by this development or similar. I oppose it.

  5. Tiff Paterson commented

    The trend in Portarlington is building to the boundary, over height and this is really dominating the view from the water and land. There is no justification for cramming this many dwellings into a block other than greed. As this development has existing 360 degree views why should it be exempt from height regulations? So disappointed with our council for allowing the destruction of our historic town.

    As I am one of the residents impacted by these units I strongly object to the height
    as they are being built on the highest point in Portarlington and in doing so I feel
    my privacy would be greatly effected.

    I agree with comments made to date regarding 4 units over the planning height. This whole site has excellent views and with the right design each unit should have views. No need for any to be above the regulated height. Once you create a precedent it makes it easier for others to apply for the same.
