August 3rd, 2022Subdivision at Raglan

Smith Development Partnerships has put in a planning application to the Hepburn Shire Council for a housing subdivision at 9 Raglan Street, Daylesford.
A report by Niche Planning Studio says the “Middleton Field Estate” stretches across 17 Smith Street, 29 Smith Street and 9 Raglan Street, Daylesford.
“The broader proposal incorporates house and land packages supporting 7* NatHERS ratings, no fossil fuel energy connections, retention of large existing trees within the public realm, incredible views towards the east of Daylesford and an ecovillage which delivers small footprint community living with communal gardens, food production, community housing dwellings, designed by Breathe Architecture.
“The proposal at 9 Raglan Street compliments (sic) the existing design providing 22 front-loaded residential lots ranging in size from 637m² to 896m², accessing from a central 16m north-south local access street with a split lane entry to the south reflecting the existing Avenue of Honour on Raglan Street.
“The proposal will facilitate a high quality development at the site which will contribute to an attractive township entrance which respects the surrounding heritage character of the area.”
The application includes removal of vegetation, demolition of a building and roadworks.
