The car park did not have an approved building plan.

I was among the journalists who raised these questions, and I jotted down some notes. I hope I got it down accurately, as the answers sounded vague and unclear in some places.

Now this is much higher density than the maximum previously allowed &#8211; almost three times more.  I believe existing densities <a href='http://anilnetto.com/economy/development-issues/that-87-units-per-acre-density/'>[Read more]</a>]]></description>
