1. Please ensure the building facade is in keeping with the street as Swan street will define the success or failure of this whole area of Richmond (the facade of the planned flats their have a very average/ out of character for the street facade and that is even when they are looking their best in their marketing brochures). Surely we are trying to raise the standard of this area not just allow a whole lot more average looking flats, like the rest of Richmond. Also I make the usual comments about ensuring there is enough parking as everyone is requesting less parking and there is limited street parking. I assume teh height and bulk is within council guidelines as teh bulk is significant

2. I have walked past and I know where this site is however I am wondering if this is part of the Clifton development? Please clarify as it appears to be behind hoarding. It is part of an earlier planning permit that is being revised? I share concerns about the constant waiving of car parking. The knock on effect for everyone is dire.

3. The proliferation of planning applications requesting a waiver of car parking requirements is beyond a joke, and what is worse is that council/VCAT approve these applications. 17 apartments and 4 retail spaces with only 4 parking spaces is ridiculous.It is foolish to believe that people will not own cars, and the result is that they will compete for the limited on street parking (regardless of being able to obtain a parking permit or not). Once these places are built there is no turning back. This development and many like it should not be approved in the City of Yarra
