The 2316 square metre block at 194A March Street is the subject of a new development application which is on public display at Orange City Council from Friday.

The DA lodged for T & S Flowers Pty Ltd plans to create seven three-bedroom houses with their own attached garages.

It is proposed to later subdivide the site so that each house was on its own lot.

The DA states the $1.6 million development would not cause any disruption to neighbours, met design standards and was on vacant land without trees.

"There are heritage items within the vicinity of the subject land," it said.

"However the only one that has potential to be affected is a dwelling [on] Autumn Street, a dwelling with distinctive features and details."

About 18 months ago Orange City Council rejected a DA by a different developer to build a 24-room 'modern boarding house' complex spread over three double-storey buildings.

Council received 31 objections to that plan and eight people spoke against it at the council meeting where the DA was considered.

People opposed to it included those living in units fronting Nile Street however the new DA says they will not be affected.

"The development will not cause unreasonable overshadowing of the windows of the adjoining residential units to the south [in Nile Street]," it said.

Apart from the garages, five visitor car spaces are proposed. The site sold for $476,500 last July.
