While I am in no means appeased on this issue I will, ahhh, soften my words. I will admit that my main concern was for the future residents, for which I will take your word lexington, will not be a problem. I cannot debate the design of the building because to my knowledge the residents have not been given a design, only a diagram of where the buildings will be. The countryside view I mentioned refers to the two- storey houses that can see the hills and “country” beyond the other houses. In the past some areas were not allowed to build two-storey houses because they would block this view.

You have made reference to arguments that defy logic and call them farcical. I would very much like to hear one of these “farcical” points. It is obvious to me that you are a businessman because you cannot see why people do not want these buildings in their town. You seem astonished that people do not like the thought of tall buildings(even if they are only 3-4 storeys high)

Until more detail becomes available to me I will rest my case. I would however ask that you try to see this from the residents’ point of view. A number of apartments have come into this area very recently and still more forces people to wonder how many houses will be left in Bishopstown when this apartment explosion finishes

Why is it people think developers should give them their drawings/ proposals when everyone is entitled to go into the Planning Department and view all of the files and drawings for free (as previously stated by Lexington). I know of a resisdent’s association who based their entire objection to ABP on this fact (that they were not provided with any drawings by the developer or architect) and the objection was obviously considered but deemed not of any consequence – the developer is under no obligation what so ever to provide drawings to anyone who wishes to object to a proposal and residents need to get with it and exercise their rigths by visiting the Planning Dept. 😡 So Snoopdog please at least have all the facts and view all the drawings before ranting about something you have only heard about second or maybe third hand from someone with a tainted view!
