Architect's threat: I'll build a gang padSubmitted by Lance on Tue, 2007-10-09 23:12.
Architect Denis Fortune has designed a six-townhouse development at 9 Nicholson Rd. The council decided late last month that it would require a notified consent, meaning affected neighbours would be allowed to make submissions at a hearing. In response, Mr Fortune, of Bulleyment-Fortune Architects, sent a letter to a council planner saying his clients were "extremely aggravated" by the decision. They would apply to build one massive house instead, of 8000 to 11,000 square feet, for a "well known motorcycle gang". The letter said: "We believe the council will have no option but to certify the dwelling, complete with all the trees cut down and a two-metre corrugated iron fence to the boundary. The dwelling will be our clients' fallback position as they have been approached by a well known motorcycle gang which requires a large house in this locality."
