Planning officer's assessment for Petit Chateau de la Mer (FOI)

Request

Planning permission was given for work, which infringed the foreshore area, to be done on a block of flats opposite the Ommaroo Hotel, , the property was called Petit Chateau de la Mer. There appear to have been a number of properties which did not remain within boundaries. I wanted to see the letter recommending a course of action to the Planning Committee of the day. You will also note the problems which Mr Alan Luce is having over the same matter which have been mentioned in the media. There appear to have been a number of cases and these need bottoming out.

Please supply a copy of the planning officer's assessment of the building project called Petit Chateau de la Mer which intruded onto the sea wall and foreshore and which was the subject of a contract in the Royal Court.
