Came across secret DAP plans for Bayswater. But despite the cookie cutter brutality, it’s still better than what’s there now. The decrepit fish shop, the corrugated iron piss shop, the Fair Trade chunk of crap – all of it could go and Baysie would be better.

Stop! you re both right! if the market in units tanks here they can be converted easily to suburban sweat shops.
don’t you love the way the ground floor to ceiling height on this proposal is lower than that of the bungalow in the distance?
did they prop it up on a couple of saw horses and photograph it in situ on a cloudy day?
wouldn’t it be the cutest little thing as street furniture?

DAPs by the way BSWAM are government bodies who override planning decisions from crackpots on local councils.

Even if the crackpots have made the right decision. Which occasionally has happened.

So are these proposed developments, approved ones or models of what might be approved by the panels (like forecasting envelope zoning)?

This is my satire with model railway models. The local council had a 5 storey limit, but the developers appealed to DAP and have been allowed 7 storeys. It’s pretty ugly, and right to the footpath. However, this Main Street has been so I’ll served by its representatives that it is a complete shithole. In contrast to the pleasant houses and suburban streets nearby. there is nothing worth saving and nothing that wouldn’t be improved by 7 storeys of apartments with people with money living in them.
