To allow for low-impact residential development in areas of special ecological, scientific or aesthetic value. The proposal is considered to be in line with the stated objectives of the zone, in that the proposal has a low impact and will not adversely affect the existing biodiversity in the vicinity of the site.
Compliance with the DCP Part B Section 2 – Residential
The Council's letter suggests that, as dwellings to the south of the site have extensive setbacks, a setback of 38m should be maintained. It is considered that the proposal is compatible with the streetscape of the area, bearing in mind that the development leads to the modernization of the existing house on the site. It is considered that the proposed front setback does not adversely affect privacy, views and the environmental amenity of the neighborhood and surrounding environment.
The proposal is considered to be consistent with the basic control objectives and results in an appropriate result taking into account the site context. Despite the numerical departure, the development is considered to be in accordance with the objectives of the clause as:. Ample private space has been provided on the site and will adequately provide for the passive and active recreational needs of the residents.
An extensive private open space is envisaged on the site which will adequately meet the passive and active recreation needs of the residents; Existing drainage and runoff management will continue to direct storm water through the proposed drainage system to the front of the site to ensure there is no increased runoff to adjacent properties. The proposal is consistent with the underlying objectives of the audit and is believed to result in an appropriate result given the context of the site.
Concerns regarding the size of the proposed cottage, including overshadowing, loss of sunlight and noise impacts. The application was referred to the Council's Development Monitoring Team (DMT) for examination of the works. Therefore, the scope and scale of the development has been reduced and is considered to have minimal impact on the streetscape.
It is considered that the proposed development will not have an unreasonable impact on the amenity of the adjoining residences, nor will it result in any unreasonable overshadowing and privacy impacts. The application has been referred to the Council's Development Monitoring Team for investigation into the works completed to date on the grant. Works have started around the pool area in the location of the proposed outdoor toilet/shower;.
