COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011 Assessment against the performance criteria Buildings Setback from the Boundary Setback balcony and theatre from western (right) boundary Setback master bedroom from western (right) boundary Setback hallway from western (right) boundary Setback powder room, bathroom, bedroom 4 and bedroom 3 from western (right) boundary Acceptable development provision Proposed 1.5 metres 1.2 metres 1.3 metres 1.2 metres 2.4 metres 2.0 metres 2.4 metres 1.5 metres Performance criteria: Buildings set back from boundaries other than street boundaries so as to: provide adequate direct sun and ventilation to the building; ensure adequate direct sun and ventilation being available to adjoining properties; provide adequate direct sun to the building and appurtenant open spaces; assist with protection of access to direct sun for adjoining properties; assist in ameliorating the impacts of building bulk on adjoining properties; and assist in protecting privacy between adjoining properties. The reduced setback to the western boundary is a result of the narrow lot frontage (10.06 metres), and makes effective use of the space. As the lot runs north to south, the reduced setbacks to the western boundary has little impact on sunlight to the adjoining property. The building has been stepped to reduce the impacts of building bulk. Although concerns were raised by the adjoining property to the north regarding solar access and invasion of privacy, the upper floor contains no major openings and the reduced setback is to the western boundary, therefore sheltering the adjoining property from the harsh westerly sun. The dwelling is set back in excess of the required front setback to the primary street therefore ensuring that the reduced setbacks do not dominate the streetscape, and allowing the adjoining property to not feel 'boxed in'. Overall, it is considered that the proposed reduced setbacks to the western boundary meet with the performance criteria for the following reasons:- little impact on overshadowing of the adjoining property as shadow will be cast to the south; privacy will be protected between the adjoining properties as there are no major openings on the western elevation. Buildings on Boundary Setback garage from western (right) boundary Setback bar and laundry from western (right) boundary Acceptable development provision Proposed 1.5 metres 0 metres 1.1 metres 0 metres Setback living from western (right) 1.0 metre 0 metres H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\11 MINUTES\DECEMBER 2011\B DV.DOCX 77
COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011 boundary Performance criteria: Buildings built up to boundaries other than the street boundary where it is desirable to do so in order to: make effective use of space; or enhance privacy; or otherwise enhance the amenity of the development; not have any significant adverse effect on the amenity of the adjoining property; and ensure that direct sun to major openings to habitable rooms and outdoor living areas of adjoining properties is not restricted. The parapet walls to the living, laundry and bar will be to the western boundary and will have little impact on overshadowing as the shadow will be cast to the property to the north. The parapet wall to the garage is at a maximum height of a boundary fence. The parapet walls make effective use of the space on a narrow lot, and are located a minimum of 11.5 metres from the front boundary, therefore having little impact on the streetscape. These rooms are non habitable and do not contain major openings which overlook the adjoining property to the south, therefore not affecting visual privacy to the adjoining property. Although the adjoining owner has objected with regards to overshadowing to the outdoor living area it is considered that this area, will still have access to the winter sun and is mostly shaded by extensive tree coverage. Overall, it is considered that the buildings on the boundary address the performance criteria for the following reasons:- they make effective use of the space on a narrow lot; and they will have little affect on sunlight or ventilation to the adjoining property to the west. Building Height Maximum wall height to the underside of the eaves for pitched roof Maximum wall height for flat/concealed roof Acceptable development provision Proposed 6.0 metres 5.2 metres - 6.9 metres 7.0 metres 7.4 metres Performance criteria: Building height consistent with the desired height of buildings in the locality, and to recognise the need to protect the amenities of adjoining properties, including, where appropriate: adequate direct sun to buildings and appurtenant open spaces; adequate daylight to major openings to habitable rooms; and access to views of significance. Due to the slope of the land and the provision of an undercroft garage, the proposed dwelling exceeds the maximum permissible height to the front. The applicant has reduced the ceiling heights and floor levels to try to reduce the overall height. The majority of the over height section is adjoining the property to the east who have expressed that they have no objections to the proposed application.
