DV12.133 LOT 2 (NO. 234B) SELBY STREET, WEMBLEY - TWO STOREY GROUPED<br />

DWELLING - REAR BATTLEAXE LOT<br />

SUMMARY:<br />

The <strong>Town</strong> has received an application for a two storey grouped dwelling at No. 234B Selby<br />

Street, Wembley.<br />

The application requires a Council determination as an assessment is required against the<br />

buildings on the boundary and buildings setback from the boundary performance criteria <strong>of</strong><br />

the Residential Design Codes <strong>of</strong> WA (R Codes) and an objection has been received during<br />

the 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 />

• direct sun to major openings to habitable rooms and outdoor living areas <strong>of</strong> the<br />

adjoining property is not restricted;<br />

• makes effective use <strong>of</strong> space on the lot allowing for a sufficient vehicle turning circle;<br />

• assists in protecting the privacy between the adjoining properties;<br />

• ensures adequate direct sun and ventilation being available to adjoining property; and<br />

• assists in ameliorating the impacts <strong>of</strong> building bulk on adjoining property.<br />

Accordingly, the proposal is recommended for approval.<br />
