ITEM-3 DA NO. 1070/2017/HA - SHOP TOP HOUSING - LOT 35 DP 1212326 NO. 1 ANFIELD STREET, KELLYVILLE RESOLUTION
The Development Application be refused for the following grounds:
1. The proposed development does not comply with the objectives of the R1 General Residential zone under State Environmental Planning Policy Sydney Region Growth Centres 2006 as it is considered to be inappropriate given the residential context and nature of the existing and future residential uses. The proposal has the potential to have an adverse impact on the residential developments in proximity to the site.
(Section 79C 1(a)(i) of the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979).
2. The proposed development is inconsistent with the State Environmental Planning Policy Sydney Region Growth Centres 2006 Draft Amendment (11/2015/PLP) which in part seeks to prohibit shop top housing in the R1 General Residential zone.
(Section 79C 1(a)(ii) of the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979).
3. The proposed development is contrary to the provisions of Clause 50 of the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulations 2000, which requires the applicant to provide all the necessary and requested information to Council to allow for a proper assessment of the application, including the submission of information including a complete set of architectural plans, compliance with Australian Standards, vehicle parking and manoeuvring, landscaping, waste management, acoustic impacts and operational details for the shop/cafe.
(Section 79C 1(a)(iv) of the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979).
PAGE 3 4. The impacts on built environment in the locality are unacceptable in terms of bulk and scale of the proposed building which is not compatible with the future surrounding development and the overall streetscape. The development is not in keeping with the approved building envelope for a single dwelling.
(Section 79C 1(b) of the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979).
5. The proposed development is not considered to be suitable for the site as it is an overdevelopment in terms of scale and intensity and results in unacceptable amenity impacts on neighbours.
(Section 79C 1(c) of the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979).
6. The proposed development fails to comply with Australian Standards in regards to parking and manoeuvring.
(Section 79C 1(c) of the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979).

8. The proposed development is inappropriately located outside of the Hezlett Road Neighbourhood Centre.
(Section 79C 1(c) of the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979).
9. The proposed development is considered not to be in the public interest.
(Section 79C 1(e) of the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979).
