28 Carlyle St, Byron Bay 2481 NSW

I am greatly disappointed that council might approve another two storey development in the heritage area of old Byron Bay.
When I and others built our houses about seven years ago we were advised by local designers that a two storey was next to impossible to get through Council.
I accepted this and appreciated the policy as it has preserved a unique country townscape.
Now the free-for-all of two storey mega houses designed for the Air B n B market is irrevocably tipping Byron away from its heritage.

WeI have been severely affected by the development at the back of this block. We are severely overshadowed by the two storey monstrosity 90cm from our boundary. Six months of unending noise and lack of privacy, illegal removal of a very large lilli pilli. This all despite my formal objections. We are now faced with detail like rubbish bins and air conditioner units only metres from our veranda. There appears to be no respect for the original bungalows and cottagesthat are supposed to form the heritage listed area.
I have not had any feedback from my previous objections so I’m feeling somewhat defeated and that it is pointless to object. Developers Win !!!
Nevertheless I will submit formal objections to the proposal

This combination of architect/developer are responsible for the other development on this block.
I note one of the council objectives is

1. To ensure that residential development is designed to minimise impacts on solar access and privacy on adjoining properties, and on the views from adjacent existing buildings.
2. To ensure that the occupants of the building or buildings will enjoy the optimum use of winter sunlight and summer shade

The compliance on this other development is laughable. I doubt that this development will be any different.
