COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 27 NOVEMBER 2012 In terms of access of direct sun to major openings to habitable rooms and outdoor living areas of the adjoining property, the minimal shadow cast by the new garage wall would fall within the shadow cast by the existing upper floor portion of the dwelling. Therefore, the proposed boundary wall would result in no further restriction of afternoon westerly sunlight to the adjoining property. The boundary wall to the rear gym/store is approximately 8.440 metres in length and 2.580 metres high with a low pitched 2 degree roof. The subject wall is not considered to have an undue impact on the adjoining property as it will abut a shed and garden bed of the adjoining property at No. 26 Tranmore Way with direct sun to major openings to habitable rooms and outdoor living areas not restricted. Overall, it is considered that the boundary walls to the garage and gym/store on the right (east) side boundary satisfies the performance criteria for the following reasons:- • will not have any significant adverse effect on the amenity of the adjoining property; and • direct sun to major openings to habitable rooms and outdoor living areas of the adjoining property is not restricted. Buildings set back from the boundary Proposed Rear setback 1.0 - 2.640 metres setback from the portions of wall to the alfresco & gym to the rear (north) boundary Acceptable development provision 6.0 metres Performance criteria: Buildings setback from boundaries other than street boundaries so as to:- • provide adequate direct sun and ventilation to the building; • ensure adequate direct sun and ventilation being available to adjoining properties; • provide adequate direct sun to the building and appurtenant open spaces; • assist with protection of access to direct sun for adjoining properties; • assist in ameliorating the impacts of building bulk on adjoining properties; and • assist in protecting privacy between adjoining properties. The proposed roofed cover open outdoor lounge and alfresco which is set back 2.640 metres from the rear boundary and the gym which is set back 1.0 metre from the rear (north) boundary will have no undue impact on the amenity of the rear neighbours as Bent Park is located immediately to the north. Although the portions of wall to the outdoor lounge and gym are located in the 6 metre rear setback area, they are not considered to have any adverse impact on the adjoining property to the east. There will be no restrictions on direct sun and ventilation to the adjoining property at No. 26 Tranmore Way. The absence of any development in the park abutting the property means adequate northern light and ventilation is provided to the rear setback area. Due to the single storey nature of the buildings in the rear setback, there will be no impact on the adjoining property to the east in terms of building bulk or privacy.

COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 27 NOVEMBER 2012 Overall, it is considered that the portions of wall to the alfresco and gym located in the rear setback area satisfy the performance criteria for the following reasons:- • ensures adequate direct sun and ventilation being available to adjoining properties; • assists in ameliorating the impacts of building bulk on adjoining properties; and • assists in protecting privacy between adjoining properties.

The proposal was assessed against the provisions of the Residential Design Codes (R Codes), Town Planning Scheme No.1, and the Town Planning Scheme Policy Manual. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications related to this report. STRATEGIC DIRECTION: Consideration of this application is consistent with the Town's Strategic Plan 2009-2020 for the priority area 'Planning for our Community'. COMMUNITY CONSULTATION: This matter has been assessed under the Community Consultation Policy. The requirements for consultation have been satisfied under the statutory provisions of the Town Planning Scheme. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Applicant's justification and neighbour submission. Committee Meeting 20 November 2012 During discussion, the Administration was requested to check the amount of landscaping in the front setback area prior to the next meeting of Council. FURTHER REPORT (Post Committee Meeting 20 November 2012) In response to the query raised at Development Committee concerning the amount of landscaping in the front setback area, it is advised that the figure is 42 percent, in lieu of Council's requirement of 60 percent. It is noted, however, that the property has an existing circular driveway, which would appear to have been installed around 1996, at the time the swimming pool was installed in the rear of the property. The current application proposes to retain this driveway. There is no record of an application having been received for the internal driveway, however, on its own, Council approval would not have been required in1996.
