COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 28 AUGUST 2012 DV12.88 LOT 496 (NO.326) RAILWAY PARADE, WEST LEEDERVILLE -TWO GROUPED DWELLINGS SUMMARY: The Town has received an application for two grouped dwellings at No. 326 Railway Parade, West Leederville. The plans show two, two storey dwellings on the lot with a boundary wall to the eastern boundary of unit 2 which is not supported by the adjoining landowner. The application requires a Council determination as an assessment is required against the setback of buildings generally and buildings on the boundary performance criteria of the Residential Design Codes of WA (R Codes) and an objection has been received during the consultation period that cannot be resolved through a condition of planning approval. The proposal is considered to satisfy the relevant performance criteria for the following reasons:- • does not have a significant detrimental impact on the streetscape, • conforms with the existing and desired character of the streetscape, • does not have a significant adverse impact on the amenity of adjoining properties. Accordingly, the proposal is recommended for approval. BACKGROUND: Application: 196DA - 2012 Owner: Mr Brian Fetch, Ms Margaret Cruz & Grovewest Pty Ltd Applicant: Urban and Rural Perspectives Zoning: Residential R30 Use class: Dwelling (single) ‘P’ – permitted Land area: 632 m² This application was originally submitted in May 2012 showing a boundary wall approximately 2.9 metres in height. Since then the wall has been amended to maximum height of approximately 2.5 metres. It is this wall that is the subject of the report. DETAILS: Development description • The site is located on Railway Parade with the Railway Line and Patersons Stadium located opposite. It has a north/south orientation with a relatively flat site topography. • The lot frontage is angled and so there is only a small section of the dwelling that projects into the 4.5 metre primary street setback area. • The proposal is for two, two storey dwellings on the lot. • Unit 1 is set back at 2.75 metres from the primary street boundary to the first floor balcony and 3.117 metres to the ground floor garage. • Unit 2 has a boundary wall on the right/eastern side with a length of 8.7 metres and a maximum height of 2.5 metres.

COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 28 AUGUST 2012 Applicant's justification The applicant has provided written justification for the variations to the acceptable development provisions relating to setback of buildings generally and buildings on the boundary. Neighbour submission The Town notified the owners of the two properties directly adjoining the eastern and northern boundaries of the subject site, being Nos. 1 and 1B Tate Street, West Leederville. One submission was received from the owners of No.1B Tate Street, West Leederville objecting to boundary wall due to the impact on the amenity of the development in terms of privacy, access to direct sun and building bulk. Performance criteria assessment Setbacks of buildings generally Balcony setback to primary street boundary Garage setback to primary street boundary Proposed Acceptable development provision 2.75 metre setback 4.5 metre setback 3.117 metre setback 4.5 metre setback Performance criteria: Buildings setback from street boundaries an appropriate distance to ensure they: • contribute to the desired streetscape • provide adequate privacy and open space for dwellings; and • allow safety clearances for easements for essential service corridors. With the Railway Line and Patersons Stadium located across Railway Parade, the reduced setback to the primary street boundary is unlikely to have an impact on adjoining neighbours' amenity. A number of dwellings in the immediate locality, such as the adjoining lot to the east, have solid walls within the setback area to protect against the noise pollution in the area. This proposal is a preferable outcome. Also, the proposal of the balcony within close proximity to Railway Parade allows the dwelling to maintain passive surveillance of the street. This is a valuable contribution to the streetscape in this particular area. The subject site is constrained by a sewer line in the middle of the lot as well as the narrow width of the lot and so Unit 1 cannot be moved further towards the rear without having a detrimental impact on the internal or outdoor living areas of Unit 1. Maintaining adequate internal and outdoor living areas is essential as well as providing a safe access way down one side of the lot so the need to extend the dwelling laterally is apparent. Given that the garage and balcony only consume 7.4 metres of the 13.88 metre frontage, and that the remainder of the frontage is open, it is not considered that the proposal will not have a detrimental impact on the streetscape.
