<strong>COUNCIL</strong> MINUTES<br />
TUESDAY 27 NOVEMBER 2012<br />
Overall in view <strong>of</strong> the above comments, and notwithstanding neighbour concerns, it is<br />
considered that the reduced rear boundary setback is acceptable and satisfies the<br />
performance criteria for the following reasons:-<br />
• the cabana does not have any significant impact on access to sun and ventilation and<br />
building bulk impact on the adjoining property.<br />
Assessment<br />
Gatehouse<br />
Acceptable Development Provision<br />
Maximum dimension <strong>of</strong> 2 metres<br />
Proposed<br />
2.4 metres<br />
Comment<br />
The proposed gatehouse structure has a dimension <strong>of</strong> 2.4 metres in lieu <strong>of</strong> the required<br />
2 metres. The increased dimension <strong>of</strong> 400mm is considered minor and due to the slight<br />
angled orientation <strong>of</strong> the gatehouse to the street/lot boundary is considered not to affect the<br />
streetscape. The structure is open, set back 1 metre from the street, is unattached to the<br />
existing dwelling. and has a total height below the maximum 3.5 metres and therefore<br />
satisfies the policy for gatehouses in the street setback.<br />
