We also rang the Council this afternoon and no-one could tell us when the Traffic Impact Statement would be available!
This is an integral part of any such development and it is usual to expect to see it in the Planning Documents.
This is the second time this monstrous development on Regent Square has been advertised –
after the first attempt went off half-cocked and omitted some crucial requirements.
The second advertisement appeared in the Examiner last Wednesday 14 September – still not quite according to
regulations but at least you could see this one – and there are only 14 days in which Representations can be made.
Now with only a week to go – we still haven't been able to see all the documents. Wouldn't it have been wiser
to wait until ALL the documents were to hand BEFORE re-advertising it????
At least SOME owners of premises around the Square HAVE had a letter notifying them of the development.
We hope they will put in a representation to Council as their 'outlook onto a park' will certainly be compromised.
And we've noticed that there are NOW notices on pickets on each side of the Square – and there's a bit more
information than what was on the original notice on the one pole on Elizabeth Street - not just the "two that are
required on a corner block" (quote).
But still the notices don't tell you WHERE the representations should be sent as required by the regulations!
(4) A notice referred to in subsection (3) is, in addition to any other matters required to be contained in it,
to name a place where a copy of the application, and of all plans and other documents submitted with
the application, will be open to inspection by the public at all reasonable hours during the period for
which representations may be made.
(3) A notice under subregulation (1) is to –
(a) describe the content of the development proposal and the location of the affected area; and
(b) advise that representations may be made in accordance with section 57(5) of the Act, together
with details of where and when representations can be lodged; and
(c) include any other details determined by the planning authority.

And where is the Heritage Impact Study?
YES ANONYMOUS! ... AND where is the Community of Ownership & Interest audit/survey???
One might guess that the self appointed "Key Stakeholders" have been consulted but they do not seem to believe that they have any obligations in respect to this place ... NOR the wider community!
Why is all this so?
