Objection: 708-710 High Street RESERVOIR

An amendment is used to convert bad to far worse.

Certain developers  are currently using a two stage approach to maximize their yield of dwelling at the cost of a poor planning outcome;
(a) obtain a permit to build for something benign that is likely to be acceptable, then
(b) seek an amendments to convert office space to dwellings, or increase the number of dwellings, reduce the number of parking spaces and generally maximize the “yield” whilst also preventing objections form every body except those who objected at step (a).
Our objection here at step (a) is not against the present proposal but insurance against being unable to object to the possibility of (b) diabolical future amendments.”

Here is an example of such practice
Note, we believe the home office for U1-4 is a disguised third bedroom
