AN AMENDED four-lot subdivision has been approved for Inglewood after safety and parking concerns raised by the primary school council saw plans redrawn.
Loddon Shire councillors have adopted an officer recommendation for the Sullivan Street building of two and three-bedrooms units.
They were told that adjoining the land to the north was a single dwelling and to the south Inglewood Primary School.
Opposite the site in Sullivan Street, the lots are developed with single dwellings. St Augustine’s Hall and Church are located within close proximity to the subject site at the northern end of Sullivan Street.
One joint letter of objection signed by seven residents said the development would cram modern houses between majestic historic buildings, diminishing the area’s look.
Inglewood Primary School council said it had not objections but concerns with the proposal.
It told council up to five parking spaces would be lost in Sullivan Street and asked council to develop a nearby vacant block as a formal carpark of 12 spaces to be used by parents.
“The safety of students at Inglewood Primary School is our primary concern. and we seek Loddon Shire Council support in ensuring the new development does not hinder the safety of our students,” the school said.
