Why was the previous residential building knocked back?
That is ridiculous amount of car parking for a 27 story commercial building. To only have 4.4 parks per floor of the 20 commercial levels is just crazy. BCC should be looking to make building have more parking to allow for less on street parking which will allow more traffic flow.
It’s in spring hill, take a bus or train. You don’t need to drive everywhere. Unless you’re afraid of the peasants who use public transport?
Too right!
It looks beautiful. My only critique is that it is not tall enough! Deserves a few extra floors!
The problem with pubic transport is that you encounter far too much of the public on it
