DV12.92<br />
LOT 323 (NO.107) BRANKSOME GARDENS, CITY BEACH - ADDITIONS<br />
AND ALTERATIONS<br />
SUMMARY:<br />
The <strong>Town</strong> has received an application for additions and alterations to an existing dwelling at<br />
No. 107 Branksome Gardens, City Beach. The plans show additions to an existing dwelling<br />
including a garage and carport built on the south-eastern boundary, a new porch and lounge<br />
area as well as further minor alterations.<br />
The application requires a <strong>Council</strong> determination as an assessment is required against the<br />
setback <strong>of</strong> buildings generally and buildings on the boundary performance criteria <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Residential Design Codes <strong>of</strong> WA (R Codes) and an objection has been received during the<br />
consultation period that cannot be resolved through a condition <strong>of</strong> planning approval.<br />
The proposal is considered to satisfy the relevant performance criteria for the following<br />
reasons:-<br />
• does not have a significant detrimental impact on the streetscape,<br />
• conforms with the existing and desired character <strong>of</strong> the streetscape,<br />
• does not have a significant adverse impact on the amenity <strong>of</strong> adjoining properties.<br />
Accordingly, the proposal is recommended for approval.<br />

the south-eastern boundary being replaced with an open-style carport. It is the latter set <strong>of</strong><br />
plans that are the subject <strong>of</strong> the following report.<br />
