COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011 ground level at the respective points. Further to this there are currently 1.8 metre high boundary fences to both sides and the single-storey ancillary accommodation development will barely protrude above the fence line at any point. This minimises the impact of the proposal in terms of building bulk and access to direct sun to the adjoining lots to the south and west. The location of development on the adjoining lot to the east means that the outdoor area to the rear of the property is largely shaded from the northern sun and the proposed ancillary accommodation on the subject site will have minimal additional impact on this area. In addition to this the main outdoor living are on the adjoining lot is located on the eastern side of the property and so the proposed additions will have no impact on this area. Given the proposed roofing projects only 1.4 metres above the fencing at the rear boundary at its highest point and that a minimum 4.0 metres setback is retained to the rear of the lot, the proposed ancillary accommodation will not have any significant impact on any adjoining property in terms of overshadowing. There are examples of similar development within the required 6.0 metre rear setback in the surrounding precinct, including the adjoining property to the east, and as such the proposal is consistent with the character of the area. The proposed ancillary accommodation development with a lowered finished floor level to the south and west, and no major openings facing the east. It is noted that the size of the ancillary accommodation does exceed the maximum floor area under the acceptable development provisions however, the development has due regard to the topography of the site and is designed to meet the needs of aged or dependent persons. In summary the ancillary accommodation improves the amenity of the development without having an adverse impact on the adjoining lots in terms of building bulk, access to direct sun, ventilation and privacy and notwithstanding neighbour concerns, it is considered that the performance criteria are satisfied in this case. Overall, it is considered that the setback of the ancillary accommodation from the southern boundary complies with the performance criteria for the following reasons:- provides adequate direct sun and ventilation to the building, provides adequate direct sun to the building and appurtenant open spaces, assists with protection of access to direct sun for adjoining properties, assists in ameliorating the impacts of building bulk on adjoining properties, assists in protecting privacy between adjoining properties.

The proposal was assessed against the provisions of the Residential Design Codes (R Codes), Town Planning Scheme No.1, and the Town Planning Scheme Policy Manual. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications related to this report. H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\11 MINUTES\DECEMBER 2011\B DV.DOCX 99
