written consent of Council. Council is required to consider any application for
alteration of a designated property in consultation with the LACAC.
1.3 The Chairperson of the LACAC has advised that the designation request has been
made in response to a request submitted by the respective property owner. The
LACAC has provided the property owner with relevant information related to the
designation of the property including the restriction placed on the property as a
result of designation.
