The Georges River Record

A resident has raised five key concerns about a proposed development at 2-2A Lancelot Street, Allawah, telling the local planning panel it would have unacceptable impacts on neighbours. The application, DA2026/0046, is at the additional information requested stage.

The resident said the building's height, bulk and scale did not fit Lancelot Street and would block sunlight for nearby apartments. The site sits on one of the highest points on the street, making the building appear larger than its stated height, they said.

The panel later heard from Jake Bolson, the applicant for 30 Annette Street, Oatley, who spoke in support of his own proposal. That application, DA2026/0204, covers demolition, a new garage and office, and alterations and additions to a dwelling.

Bolson said the design includes a lift to help his mother, who has mobility issues, and to make the home safer for family and emergency services. He asked the panel to support the officers' recommendations and approve the application.

A third application for 1-7 Bowns Road, Kogarah, DA2025/0589 SS, was also before the panel. No details of that item were discussed in the available transcript excerpts.

After the speakers finished, the panel closed the meeting and retired to consider the three applications.
