property. As the tree is outside <strong>of</strong> development works, it is required <strong>to</strong>
<strong>be</strong> retained. This will require some alteration <strong>to</strong> the proposed
landscape works/turf area.
iv.
The proposed swimming pool located in the south east site corner has
a setback <strong>of</strong> approximately 1.4m <strong>to</strong> the water line. To maximise
landscape amenity and deep soil landscaping it is required that the
proposed pool have a minimum 2.0m setback from site boundaries <strong>to</strong>
the outer coping edge.
RESIDENTIAL AMENITY
v. The proposed development fails <strong>to</strong> provide for adequate open space
with dimensions in accordance with DCP55. In particular, units D11,
D12, D13, C11, C21, A21, A31, D21 and D31 are undersized or have
minimal widths (Refer: DCP55, Part 4.5, Controls C-1, C-2, C-4).
SITE ACCESS
vi.
The raised pedestrian entry ramps are <strong>of</strong> minimum width with no
landing. This will prevent pedestrian access along the frontage <strong>of</strong> this
site, particularly if a vehicle is parked on Finlay Road.
PARKING
vii.
The proposed level <strong>of</strong> visi<strong>to</strong>r parking fails <strong>to</strong> comply with the
requirements <strong>of</strong> LEP194. Eleven spaces are required, whereas ten
have <strong>be</strong>en provided. No SEPP1 has <strong>be</strong>en submitted. (Refer: LEP194,
Section 25J(2)(b)‘one space is provided for every 4 dwellings or part
there<strong>of</strong>’).
INADEQUATE INFORMATION/PLAN INCONSISTENCIES
viii.
ix.
The Concept S<strong>to</strong>rmwater Drainage & On-site Retention Details Plan
submitted with the application shows a 1.5m wide drainage easement
through the adjoining property <strong>to</strong> discharge in<strong>to</strong> the existing natural
overland flow path. This area <strong>of</strong> the adjoining site has not <strong>be</strong>en
surveyed and the location <strong>of</strong> existing trees and vegetation has not
accurately <strong>be</strong>en undertaken. Further information is necessary <strong>to</strong>
determine the potential adverse impacts on existing trees <strong>of</strong> the
drainage easement.
The submitted Arborists Report is unsatisfac<strong>to</strong>ry as it does not provide
sufficient detail <strong>to</strong> fully assess and locate the existing trees on site and
the impacts <strong>of</strong> the associated works. A revised Arborists Report is
required (further details are provided within the Statement <strong>of</strong> Basic
Facts).
x. Consent <strong>of</strong> downstream property owners (1456a and 1454 Pacific
Highway ) <strong>to</strong> grant an interallotment drainage easement has not <strong>be</strong>en
