Mid-Rise Buildings – Rear Transition issues
We are providing our comments on the draft proposal that has been the subject of recent public consultations. We are concerned about the proposals that appear to be one-sided and do not reflect an evidence based and careful assessment of the Mid-Rise Guidelines developed by Brooke-McIlroy Planning, dated May 2010.
- Important stakeholders were not represented in the consultation process to develop the revised Mid-Rise Guidelines.
- The process appeared to rely on input/guidance from the development industry to generate a final report and recommendations including draft revised performance standards.
- There was no similar opportunity for input from residents including those living in the immediately abutting lands and other affected areas
- The public is now being asked to comment on what appears to be a “done deal”.
