MEETING OF COUNCIL - Town of Cambridge

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