Sensitive To Heritage

Architect Maria Gigney advertises herself as "sensitive to heritage". This is just as well, can you imagine what the development would look like if it were otherwise?

Our only source of light in the lounge room of our old 1847 heritage building is about to be bricked up, and the giant structures  in the backyard were going to be "hardly visible from the street" we were told in Tribunal.

The first pic is a view from the lounge door, the second is facing backyard.



The ground floor of Unit 1 is being built virtually on our boundary with 3 illegal windows that Mehrab-Khani decided to put in while he was going along. He is being prosecuted by Council over this, but it allows him to apply Tom's Third Law -- if you are caught with illegal building modifications, apply for approval afterwards!  It's based on the same principle that if you rob a bank and get caught, offer to give the money back.

Now the question is--will the second floor windows abide by the plans? We should know within the week.
