Petition details
The purpose of this petition is to raise awareness of and formally object to the style & character of the proposed retail/residential development for 150 Riddiford St Newtown. This design shows no empathy with the heritage buildings alongside, and the 4 story structure will have a detrimental impact on the adjacent businesses and residential dwellings affecting light, privacy and noise levels.
Background information

This give a distinctive character to the centre which the Council seeks to maintain and enhance' - see "Newtown Suburban Centre Design Guide
