Important clarification

What is and is not part of this application

Some drawings show future parking, a common area and playground while marking those works as outside this application. Signage is also proposed for a later application.

Applicant's claimEN-0026

The extra parking relies on work coordinated with a separate application

The applicant says the extra bays would come from reconfiguring parking south of an office extension proposed under a separate application.

What this does not prove: This note does not establish the status of the separate application or whether both parking layouts can be delivered as shown.

Applicant's claimEN-0052

Signage is not included in this application

The applicant says signage approval is not sought now and any later signage application would be limited to the Jones Street frontage.

What this does not prove: This is the applicant's stated intention. Any future application must be assessed on its own material.

Questions worth asking

  • Which works and benefits would be secured by an approval of DA26/1308?
  • Can the padel centre operate as proposed if the separate or future works do not proceed?

CAMPAIGN POSITION

Refuse DA26/1308 in its current form.

Only if approved anyway: If approved anyway, define the approved works and dependencies precisely.
