Re: Re: well what about the developments popping up in the shannonside ?

I would say because there are two serious issues:

1> Defining the extent of the site as it is difficult to define the boundaries of a wetland.

2> This is recognised as an important amenity resource which is not suitable for development.

I agree with much of what people are saying that it is technically possible and that hypothetically it would be possible to design attractive buildings. If the hype was stripped from this equation and the construction budget taken elsewhere; a much more attractive scheme could be built elsewhere.

JNB; any applicant must either own the holding or have the permission of the land owner; which could prove difficult in relation to point one above.
