This development application was lodged just before Christmas, a time favoured by those wishing to avoid public scrutiny.
Located between Cook and Leichhardt Streets, Durham Court, originally a large private house, was extended ca 1920 into a large block of flats, but there is still a lot of open space on the site and we have been expecting a proposal to develop some of this space for some time. However, this proposal far exceeds the density control and has severe impacts on many neighbours in Glebe Point Road, Cook Street, Leichhardt Street and Leichhardt Avenue, so the Society has joined residents with what we hope is an impressive array of objections.
