193 QUEENS PARADE, CLIFTON HILL
Permit number: PLN19/0539
Please object to this proposal.
If approved, it would set a very dangerous precedent for Queens Parade. If you can take down an original 1870s cottage then what can’t be demolished?

The responsible authority won’t make a decision before: Friday 06 December 2019
You can use some of the point from The 3068 Objection to PLN19-0539 – 193 Queens Parade – The 3068 Group Nov 2019
Or use this summary of the main points.
I object to the proposal PLN19/0539 for 193 Queens Parade, Clifton Hill, on the following grounds:
- Demolition of primary heritage fabric, the 1876 cottage ‘Viola’ should be refused.
- Councils independent heritage advice recommends “In regard to the extent of demolition that would be acceptable, it is considered that the front portion of the existing cottage should be retained to the depth of the two front rooms.” This advice has not been followed.
- The cottage is related to the adjacent two storey residence at 191 Queens Parade historically and aesthetically it forms part of a group.
- 1876 chimney should not be demolished or hidden.
- The C231 Panel preferred requirement for minimum street-wall setbacks is to “Retain existing setback”.
- The C231 Panel mandatory minimum upper level setback on Queens Parade is 8m. This is behind the front wall of the 1876 cottage.
- Upper level should be setback behind the chimney.
- New Development should not sit in front of front wall of 191 Queens Parade.
- Rear setbacks do not conform to DDO16 controls recommended by C231 Panel and supported by council.
- New four-storey building is too high for the site context.
- Services on the roof should be hidden.
Amenity
- Traffic in the lane will affect houses in Hodgkinson Street.
- Proposal will overshadow 191 Queens Parade.
