I see minor cosmetic changes only, mainly the colour, it's still a hideous, oversized block of flats at the epicentre of tourism! The two massive restaurants are so large that they could well put other restaurants in town out of business! I think they are a ploy to help get the plans through. I doubt they will get filled and when they don't the space will be converted into more flats. ( the original documents in the library last year said it had been designed so that it was adaptable for future changes!!) I've heard, from what I think is a reliable source, that there are covenants on the deeds which stipulate that no alcohol can be sold from the site and food can only be sold to theatre audiences....so what restaurant chains would be interested in it if they can't sell alcohol I wonder? It is an over development of the footprint, it would completely change all viewpoints into the town and from all points in it. The picture still shows Waldron's kiosks by the pillars with access to the pier. The pier owner has not agreed to move his kiosks to provide this access...and I'm told he won't be doing so. Therefore there will be no through way from North Parade to the pier as Waldron is claiming. It in no way conforms to the CCBC 2012 Development Brief. And as for building it, how will he do it (I've written to him twice to ask but he has not done me the courtesy of replying). Where will the portacabins for his site office and the facilities for the workforce be located where will the tons and tons of building materials be unloaded and housed (securely) until used? Where will all the construction vehicles park? Where will any plant and heavy machinery be kept? How will he fulfill H&S requirements to protect people on the pier...there is no room between the pier kiosks and the old iron pillars to erecting scaffolding! So North Parade from the Church Walks roundabout will have to be closed off and used as the building site....this will kill off not only my business but all of the other businesses on North Parade, Happy Valley Road, Marine Drive, including the toll road revenue and the bus tours. Two year build...he is having a laugh. It's taking 18 months trouble the new lifeboat station, a fraction of the size. I bet it will take 3 years or more given the Constraints of access and site problems. Given the problem with the Victorian sewage drains will the sewers be up to the job of effluent from 54 flats and two huge restaurants? On the original plan there was nowhere for any bins!! Who will want to pay over the odds to live in "luxury" flats on top of a pier with the associated noise and food smells wafting ip..and those flats on the North side will have no view and be dark all day....would you buy one? My house and the two either side will have a complete loss of privacy as dozens of flat Windows will have direct line of sight into our buildings. Loss of light all morning will mean we have to use electric lights...hardly good for the environment let alone our bills. The whole thing is ill conceived as far as I'm concerned.
