To provide for an unobstructed right-of-way, any minor protrusions of the
existing house within the right-of-way would be demolished.
The proposal also includes the provision of a “no-build” zone on the western
side of Lot 2 and a covenant on the Title that no buildings will be allowed to
be developed marked A-B-C-D on the plan. The no-build zone is
approximately 431m 2 in area and would leave approximately 619m 2 of the site
which may be developed subject to compliance with Planning requirements.
