MEETING OF COUNCIL - Town of Cambridge

COUNCIL MINUTES
TUESDAY 27 NOVEMBER 2012
DV12.138 LOT 80 (NO. 144) TOWER STREET, WEST LEEDERVILLE - ADDITIONS AND
ALTERATIONS TO EXISTING DWELLING
SUMMARY:
The Town has received an application for additions and alterations to an existing dwelling at
No. 144 Tower Street, West Leederville. The plans show extension to the existing ground
floor as well as second storey additions to an existing single storey dwelling with a loft.
The application requires a Council determination as an assessment is required against the
Roof Pitch in Wembley and West Leederville performance criteria of the Town of Cambridge
Town Planning Scheme Policy Manual and the Buildings Setback from the Boundary and
Visual Privacy performance criteria of the Residential Design Codes of WA (R Codes). An
objection has been received during the consultation period that cannot be resolved through
a condition of planning approval.
The proposal is considered to satisfy the relevant performance criteria for the following
reasons:-
• building respects the height, massing and roof pitches of existing housing in the street
and immediate locality;
• provides adequate direct sun and ventilation to the building;
• ensures adequate direct sun and ventilation being available to adjoining properties;
and
• major openings are integrated with the building design and have minimal impact on
adjoining neighbours' amenity.
Accordingly, the proposal is recommended for approval.
