Building with no shade

Ed,


In a world that is heating and flooding, it makes no sense that homes are allowed to be built covering the entire block, with no provision for trees or grass to provide shelter, shade, food for birds and help with drainage. Another large concrete block has gone up in Ocean Street, Yamba without one blade of grass or greenery. (Fake grass doesn’t count). The planning rules need to be changed to reflect the changing climate.
