Carlton Residents Association (CRA)  believes that a proposal for a 17 storey building at 66 Lygon Street, on the site of the Downtowner Hotel on the corner of Queensberry St, is a real problem. This low scale section of Carlton has a preferred height control of 8 storeys, which the CRA believes is ‘highly’ inappropriate, this proposal threatens to be more than double that. If approved, it would create a precedent for this low scale section of Carlton. If you want to comment – do so by Tuesday 10 Feb. see here Downtowner Planning Proposal Feb 2015 for more information.
