The cost depends on how complicated the proposal is and what is required in the way of amendments and advocacy (convincing the planners of the merits of your proposal). Yes, a planner will be able to tell you with some certainty if (and why) a proposal will work. If you hit the address on...

Chandra, you need to get the horse before the cart. Unless you have a TPP you don't have a project. If you don't have a project, you have no costs to cut. Think of the relative expenses here. Getting a planner to review, amend and present your proposal will cost you a few thousand. However, if...

Not to put too fine a point on, but are you the best person to be handling the application? Many aspects of a project can be successfully handled by the owner, but the early planning is not one in my opinion. Arguing with planners about visual bulk, amenity of POS, and neighbourhood character...

Any overshadowing issues need to be addressed within the context of the rest of the project. If most of the proposal is clearly compliant and there is no great loss attributable to the overshadowing, there may be scope to reach a position with the council planners that keeps everyone happy...

Well ChandraOjha it seems you could get some good advice if we can see some details of your proposed project. Thanks Savanna100 on the compliments re our web-site, our man Adam does a great job on the site.

It sounds like you need to await further advice from the TP department and their traffic department. If this issue can't be worked out that way, then a dispensation can be sought, however, traffic issues can be expensive to overcome because of the need to engage traffic engineers on your behalf...

Sorry to hear you may have come to a road block. It's easy for me to say it now but you need to meet with the "actual" planner as early as possible. I have had several successful TPPs though Glen Eira, and each of these has been made easier through early and meaningful contact with the planners...
