As an architectural designer I am disappointed to see that council has approved the design of a new house being built off Curragudde Close.

It is quite apparent that whoever designed this new house did not take into account the existing neighbour and how their building would impact them.
The new house design has a two story L shape that comes in-front of the angle of the existing house at 24 Curragudde.
Where they once had a deck off the living areas to take in sunshine and views the new house blocks this out and they will be looking at the back of a garage wall in shade.
This new house currently being framed up will dramatically reduce the property value of the existing house and I am interested to hear if there will be any legal action taken up.
A simple shadow diagram that should have been required as part of the DA would have made this apparent to council and they could have prevented this rude design from going ahead.
