Biltmore, Albert Park

Dr James Lesh of Heritage Workshop acted as an independent expert witness at a VCAT planning hearing, related to Bridport Street, Albert Park. The planning applicant sought to build new mid-rise apartments next to the landmark Biltmore apartments. The tribunal agreed with Dr Lesh's recommendation that the scale of the new apartment development should be reduced by one-storey to maintain the landmark status of the Biltmore apartments.
