Decision deferred on three-storey flats

 

A decision on an application for a three-storey residential flat building consisting of 16 medium and nine large units has been deferred until Gosford Council's meeting of February 8 to allow a site inspection.

The original application for the site in Trafalgar Ave, Umina, included a five-storey building containing 24 units and a basement car park of 33 spaces plus a six-car garage.

That application was refused by council on February 13, 2002.

A subsequent appeal to the Land and Environment Court was dismissed and council's refusal of that proposal upheld.

The applicant has now submitted a new proposal.

The proposal is for a three-storey building over a basement car park, consisting of 47 spaces, ??and four visitor spaces accessed from the rear lane.

??A communal open space and amenities are provided in the north-eastern corner of the site.

Council officers have recommended approval of the application.
