CLARENCE CITY COUNCIL – PLANNING AUTHORITY MATTERS- 4 JUNE 2012 70
(h) Building Setbacks
The minimum side building setback in this zone is 2.5m. The existing
dwelling is currently set back approximately 6m from the side
boundary. The proposal seeks to access Lot 2 via a 6m wide right-ofway
over Lot 1. To ensure the right-of-way is unobstructed, any
protrusions of the existing dwelling (including the verandah) are
proposed to be demolished.
As there will be no change to the location of the existing side boundary
line, the proposed building complies with the minimum building
setback requirements of this standard.
Specific Decision Requirements
The following Specific Decision Requirements under Clause 6.4.5 are relevant
to the proposal.
“(d) Lots sizes should be varied to suit differing levels of
residential, service and recreational needs”.
The proposed lot size is consistent with this requirement as it will create 2 lots
of approximately 1000m 2 in an area where lot sizes range from 465m 2 to
3195m 2 .
“(r) An internal lot access strip should include adequate width to
accommodate a suitable passing bay and a visitor car
parking space which is visible from the street”.
The proposed right-of-way to Lot 2 is 6m wide which is sufficient width to
accommodate both a passing bay and area for parking.
“(s) An internal lot should have adequate frontage to ensure
appropriate provision for wheelie bin collection, without
inconvenience to neighbouring properties”.
The proposed internal lot complies with the minimum 6m wide frontage and
will have enough area to conveniently locate wheelie bins.
