Walter Taylor South Action Group Inc. Protecting the Streetscapes

As per the Scrapyard Development Application on Sherwood Road, Montrose Access has also been granted the go-ahead to submit subdivision plans under the old neighbourhood plan.  As we noted last time, the reason this can occur is because of a 2 year grace period for new Development Applications via State Government legislation.
It it WTSAG's opinion that residents should lobby their state government members to change the legislation for planning which allows developers to utilise the old planning rules for a period of 2 years. 
 
We propose that using the old plans is fair only where developer plans have already been submitted prior to the adoption of the new rules, especially as the process of developing the new plans takes many years to achieve and there is plenty of forewarning of upcoming changes.
 
Please lobby your local State Members
