FURTHER REPORT (Post Committee Meeting 21 August 2012)
At the Development Committee meeting on 21 August 2012, an application for the two
storey dwelling was refused for the following reasons:-
(i)
(ii)
the proposal does not meet the acceptable development provisions or
performance criteria of Clause 6.2.7 Roof Pitch of Policy 3.1, Town Planning
Scheme Policy Manual; and
the proposal would have a detrimental impact on the existing and desired
character of the streetscape.
The applicant has provided an amended plan with regard to the roof pitch as a result of the
Committee decision. The amended plan provides for a 30 degree pitched colorbond roof to
the dwelling as viewed from the street whilst maintaining a flat roofed parapet wall over
Bedroom 2. The amended plan is considered to meet the acceptable development
provisions of Clause 6.2.7 of the Town Planning Scheme Policy Manual and can be
supported.
In addition, the applicant has modified the driveway in the front setback area to increase the
amount of landscaping to address relevant performance criteria for landscaping in the front
setback area.
The amended plan is forwarded to you for your consideration. Should the Council support
the amended plan, the following recommendation is applicable. A condition is proposed to
ensure that the boundary walls that do not abut neighbouring boundary walls are finished to
the satisfaction of the Town.
It is therefore recommended that, in accordance with Part 4 of the Town of Cambridge Town
Planning Scheme No. 1, Council APPROVES the application for a two storey dwelling
submitted by Residential Attitudes at Lot 9 (No. 107b) St Leonards Avenue, West Leederville
Beach as shown on the amended plans dated 27 August 2012 subject to the following
condition:-
