As you may know the Buckingham Hotel site was bought by developers last year, and a planning application has been made to build 22 apartments in the pub and a three story building on the car park. 29 objections were made but as the council did not make a decision within the set time period the case has moved to VCAT.
If you objected you should have received a letter about this. The first VCAT hearing was last Friday 17/12/10, I attended and due to an error in the notice sent out by the developers town planner, the mediation hearing will be postponed from the originally planned date of 10/1/11.
If you objected and want to be part of the VCAT process you have to serve a Form B Statement of grounds to the developer, VCAT and the Council by 29/12/10. You can serve these by post or email.
The council are likely to reject the application next week, and if you objected, you should hear about this from them.
