A 6-Storey Building. 6 Metres From Your Fence. No Privacy Screens.

A developer wants to build a massive apartment complex at 46–50 Cowan Road, St Ives. Council already refused it once. Now it's back, with barely any changes.

Here's what the developer is asking Council to approve.

6 Storeys

A sheer wall of apartments just 6 metres from neighbouring fences — towering over the 2 and 3-storey homes that define this street.

178 Car Spots

178 new car movements on Cowan Road — already one of St Ives' most dangerous and congested streets, with no proposed traffic mitigation.

Zero Privacy Screens

Balconies with direct sightlines into neighbouring homes. The developer acknowledges they breach setback rules — and refuses to fix it.

This doesn't belong here. Every development on Cowan Road in the past 15 years has respected its neighbours. This one doesn't — and if approved, it sets a precedent for all of St Ives.
