E69. What happens when someone objects to the development on your property?

Building Design, Prime Time

In this episode of the Building Design, Prime Time Podcast Frank and Amelia discuss the challenges property owners face when neighbours object to developments on their property.
Frank and Amelia explore how local councils manage objections and the impact these disputes can have on the development approval process. The discussion highlights common reasons for objections, such as concerns over privacy, blocked views, or increased traffic, and how these objections can delay or even prevent projects from moving forward.
The importance of understanding local planning regulations and engaging with neighbours early to address concerns before submitting development applications. They also discuss the role of councils in balancing the needs of the developer and the concerns of the community, noting that while some objections are valid, others may stem from misunderstandings or personal preferences. The episode offers practical advice on how to navigate objections and work with both neighbours and councils to achieve a successful outcome for your project.
