<< Start < Prev 1 2 Next > End >> Tony Cox   Dude, where's my house? - 2007/04/10 12:55 I thought the idea of having a scale model of the proposed development was to let us, the residents of Lewes, see how this would relate to the existing town. Unfortunately, my house and those of my neighbours in Green Wall have been omitted. As we are among those most affected, by being directly adjacent to where Charles Style would like to erect a multi storey car park, I think it is important that they should be there for all to see. Further evidence, if any were needed, of the contempt with which local residents are viewed.   | | You must login if you wish to contribute to this forum. charles style   Re:Dude, where's my house? - 2007/04/11 23:06 The modelmaker has returned to Lewes to make various alterations to the model to rectify mistakes he had inadvertently made, including the omission of the four houses on Green Wall, the small building next to Waitrose and the incorrect scale of the Lewes Little Theatre, a return visit to the Town Hall might be worthwhile, we apologise for this error it was not intentional!   | | You must login if you wish to contribute to this forum. John Stockdale   Re:Dude, where's my house? - 2007/04/12 12:08 Charles, you are asking the Council and the community to make a judgement about a £150m development based on the impression given by your model of what it will look like. When it's built it'll be too late for us to say: "Oh, if we'd known it was going to look like that, we'd never have agreed to it going ahead." We don't have the drawings to check the model against, so we have to rely on the accuracy of your modeller and the thoroughness with which your team check the model before presenting it in public. What faith can we place in any aspect of your proposal if simple, significant errors of this kind have been allowed to come in? The errors your modeller is correcting are the ones that have been picked up. How many errors are there that have not been picked up?   | | You must login if you wish to contribute to this forum. charles style   Re:Dude, where's my house? - 2007/04/12 15:26 There is no planning application completed yet, until that time the final plans will not be available, though the Phoenix Quarter website will be going live tomorrow with a lot of information on it that will no doubt form the basis of the planning application when it comes in. Please do let us know if you find any further inaccuracies in any of the material presented. we would be very happy to correct them.   | | You must login if you wish to contribute to this forum. Harry   Re:Dude, where's my house? - 2007/04/12 15:57 Let's get this straight. There's a model of the proposed development in the Town Hall that is wrong and it can only be put right if we point out any mistakes, Angel and the modeller being unable to see them themselves. The model doesn't really show what things will be like anyway because only the drawings that go with the planning application will show us what Angel are intending to do. You can virtually guarantee, if the Jam Factory saga is anything to go by (see this site), that the drawings won't truly represent what the finished development would be like either.   | | You must login if you wish to contribute to this forum. Stephen Best   Re:Dude, where's my house? - 2007/04/12 20:53 Reference the missing Green Wall Houses on the Lewes architectural model. As soon as this mistake was brought to the modelmakers attention these buildings were added, and an apology was written in the visitors book to explain that it was a genuine error - the houses were due to be fitted after the car park but were evidently lost. Please do not presume that the developer was in any way responsible - my mistake, and I apologise once again. Stephen   | | You must login if you wish to contribute to this forum.
