COUNCIL MINUTES<br />
TUESDAY 28 AUGUST 2012<br />
Overall in view <strong>of</strong> the above comments, it is considered that the proposed setback <strong>of</strong> the<br />
development from the Branksome Gardens boundary is acceptable and satisfies the<br />
performance criteria for the following 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 />
Buildings on boundary<br />
Setback <strong>of</strong> garage and<br />
carport wall<br />
Performance criteria:<br />
Proposed<br />
Nil setback with a<br />
boundary wall<br />
Acceptable development<br />
provision<br />
1.0 metre setback<br />
Buildings built up to boundaries other than the street boundary where it is desirable to do so<br />
in order to:<br />
• make effective use <strong>of</strong> space; or<br />
• enhance privacy; or<br />
• otherwise enhance the amenity <strong>of</strong> the development;<br />
• not have any significant adverse effect on the amenity <strong>of</strong> the adjoining property; and<br />
• ensure that direct sun to major openings to habitable rooms and outdoor living areas <strong>of</strong><br />
adjoining properties is not restricted.<br />
The proposed boundary wall is solid for a 11.26 metre section, the garage, and open for a<br />
further 5.143 metre section towards the front <strong>of</strong> the lot, the carport. It reaches a maximum<br />
wall height <strong>of</strong> 2.79 metres. Being single storey and low in overall height the boundary wall<br />
will not present an imposing structure in terms <strong>of</strong> building bulk and will not significantly<br />
impact the amenity <strong>of</strong> the adjoining lot.<br />
The boundary wall will adjoin a proposed 6.0 metre boundary wall to a garage on the<br />
adjacent lot to the south-east. The majority <strong>of</strong> the wall will abut this wall and the proposed<br />
driveway to the neighbour's garage. The garage wall only projects pasts the adjoining<br />
boundary wall for a length <strong>of</strong> 1.5 metres so will not have a significant impact on the<br />
neighbours outdoor living area or kitchen window.<br />
Overall in view <strong>of</strong> the above comments, it is considered that the proposed garage and<br />
carport wall on the south-east/right side boundary is acceptable and satisfies the<br />
performance criteria for the following reason:-<br />
• does not have a significant adverse impact on the amenity <strong>of</strong> adjoining properties.<br />
POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:<br />
There are no policy or statutory implications related to this report. The proposal was<br />
assessed against the provisions <strong>of</strong> the Residential Design Codes (R Codes), <strong>Town</strong> Planning<br />
Scheme No.1, and the <strong>Town</strong> Planning Scheme Policy Manual.<br />
