Residents support three-storey plan

Woy Woy residents have shown their support for a development application for the corner of Bowden Rd and Blackwall Rd.

Gosford Council has received a petition with 402 signatures in support of a proposed residential development to build 50 units on the nine blocks of land with a 200 metre street frontage.

They stated they had no objection to the three-storey component of the development.

The petitioners stated that the design offered a welcome change from the usual gun-barrel form of development and that the existing buildings on this site were old and inappropriate for the residential zone.

The petitioners also stated that the height of the buildings had generally been kept to the height of the large box trees that surrounded the site, and that the development was in keeping with the streetscape and "related" to the large stand of tall trees opposite at the public school.

The petitioners added that a large central landscaped area had provided with car parking provided under the buildings.
