Heritage Advisor
The original proposal was referred to the
Council’s heritage advisor who stated that he was not opposed to a modern
design in this situation, however the proposal had potential to impose
unacceptable impact on the neighbouring heritage item and streetscape.
The proposal was amended and the heritage
consultant, in relation to the amended proposal stated:
“…I believe what has been submitted is what we
should accept, subject to you being satisfied that Code requirements are
complied with.”
79 (C) (1) (a) the
provisions of any Environmental Planning Instrument
Lane Cove Local Environmental Plan 1987
The subject site is zoned
Low Density Residential 2 (a1) under the provisions of Lane Cove Local
Environmental Plan 1987. The proposal is
permitted with development consent of Council.
Draft Lane Cove Local
Environmental Plan 2008
There are no additional
provisions that need to be considered with respect to the draft LEP.
Lane Cove Code for Dwelling Houses – September 2000
As
indicated in the policy compliance table and matters for consideration, with
the exception of the front building line, the proposal complies with the code’s
provisions and it is considered to achieve the objectives for each provision.
Variations to Council’s
Codes/Policies
The
proposal does not comply with the provisions for the front building line
setback, however it is considered satisfactory on the following grounds:
The front setback of the external wall is 7.5m which is in accordance
with the requirements of the Dwelling House Code. The proposed front balcony
projects by 1.2m into the front building line. The width of the balcony is not
substantial as compared to the overall width of the building. It is considered
that the projection of the balcony would articulate the front building façade.
79C (1) (b) The likely impacts of that development,
including environmental impacts on both the natural and built environments, and
social and economic impacts in the locality.
It is considered that the
proposed development is unlikely to adversely impact on the residential amenity
of the locality.
Adjoining development
comprises a heritage item which includes a two storey residential building set
backwards and a garage towards the front. The proposed addition would be a flat roofed contemporary addition which
would not be in conflict with the adjoining heritage items.
It is therefore considered
that the proposed development is unlikely to significantly impact on the
streetscape and adjoining and surrounding development.
Privacy
The
existing ground floor bed room, which has doors opening onto the existing side
deck, is proposed to be
included within the existing living room. Doors opening on the existing side deck are
proposed to be fixed so that activity from the living room does not spill out
onto the existing side deck.
The
proposed first floor deck is 3.0m by 3.0m wide and has a privacy screen towards
the northern side. In addition, the deck is approximately 6.0m away from the
northern side boundary. It is considered that the proposed deck would not significantly
impact upon the privacy of the adjoining properties.
The
first floor north facing windows serve bed rooms and not living rooms. In
addition the windows have privacy screens to ensure reasonable privacy is
maintained between the adjoining properties.
Therefore it is considered
that a reasonable level of privacy is maintained between the adjoining
properties.
Views
An objection to the
development, from a neighbour, has been that the proposed development would
have an impact on city views.
The
‘Code and Development Application Checklist for Dwelling Houses, Fences,
Private Swimming Pools and Outbuildings’ requires that development:
Minimize
disruption to existing views or to achieve reasonable view sharing from
adjacent development with the height and bulk of the development.
In determining what impact
on views would result from a development, the L&EC case Tenacity Consulting
vs Warringah Council (2004) NSW L&EC 347 has become the basis for the
planning principle used to examine view sharing. In this Commissioner Roseth
framed a series of questions which should be addressed in assessing whether the
impact on views is considered unacceptable.
The following is an assessment of the application in terms of these
questions which are:
1. The assessment of the views to be affected. Some views (eg.
water views, views of iconic buildings) are valued more highly than others.
2. Consider from what part of the property the views are obtained. Also, consider sitting or standing views
Protection of sitting views across side boundaries are more difficult than from
front and rear boundaries.
3. Assess the extent of the impact. This should be done for the whole of the
property, not just the view that is affected. Views from living areas
(including kitchen areas) are more significant than from bedrooms.
4. Assess the reasonableness of the proposal
that is causing the impact. Factors
include whether the proposal complies with development standards and whether
view loss could be ameliorated by better design. View impact from a complying
development would probably be considered acceptable, and view sharing
reasonable.
In assessing the impact on
views it is considered that:
1. The views likely to be
affected are not high value in that
they are not iconic or water views.
2. The views being impacted
are across the side boundaries rather than from the front or rear of the
property and are thus recognised as being difficult to protect.
3. The impact upon views
has been significantly reduced by proposing a flat roof, the height of which is
lower than the existing ridge height.
4. The proposal complies
with all relevant planning controls except for a minor variation in with
respect to front building line and which is considered reasonable. In this
respect view impact of a complying development is considered acceptable and
view sharing reasonable.
In view of the above
findings it is considered that the proposal reasonably satisfy the requirements
of Councils Code and view sharing principals.
Overshadowing
The proposal presents an
acceptable level of overshadowing and is unlikely to significantly impact on
the level of solar access to adjoining developments or over the development
itself. The shadow diagrams indicate that private open space & the windows
serving habitable rooms in the adjoining dwelling will receive 3 hrs of
sunlight between 9am & 3pm and in this regard it is considered that solar
access is to be retained in accordance with the requirements of the DCP.
Heritage
The
proposed addition is a flat roofed contemporary addition which would be of a
contrasting character and not in conflict with of the existing heritage items.
It is considered that the proposed extension would not reduce the heritage
significance of the adjoining heritage items.
Section 79C (1) (c) - The
suitability of the site for the development
The proposal maintains the
residential use of the site. Accordingly the site is considered suitable with
respect to the proposed development.
Section 79C (1) (d) - Any
submissions made in accordance with this Act or Regulations.
The proposal was advertised
in accordance with Council’s policy of Community Consultation. Two submissions
were received.
From Resident of
Concerns expressed regarding the proposal being more than two storeys.
Comment: With reference to
north elevation, the upper floor addition is set towards the rear so that the
proposal does not exceed two storeys above natural ground level at any
point.
Concerns expressed regarding over development of site.
Comment: As indicated in
the compliance table above the total proposed floor space is less than the
maximum permissible. Therefore it cannot be considered that the site is being
overdeveloped.
Privacy screen planting along the northern
boundary as required by previous development application.
Comment:
Screen planting along the northern boundary was required as per Condition 4 of
DA147/03. The matter was taken up separately independent of the subject
application where it has been indicated that four Robina mop top trees &
five Moraya trees have been planted along the boundary.
The
proposed first floor deck has an 1800mm privacy screen towards the northern
side. The first floor north facing windows serve bed rooms and not living
rooms. In addition the windows have privacy screens to ensure reasonable
privacy is maintained between the adjoining properties.
From Resident of
Non Compliance with DCP in relation with
Ceiling height:
Comment:
As per north elevation, the ceiling height, measured from the natural ground
level, complies with requirements of the DCP.
Non Compliance with DCP in relation with number of storeys:
Comment:
This issue has already been discussed in the report above.
Non Compliance with DCP in relation with front
setback:
Comment:
The proposed front balcony projects 1.2m within
the front building line. The width of the balcony is not substantial as
compared to the overall width of the building. It is considered that the
projection of the balcony would articulate the front building façade.
Non Compliance with DCP in relation with soft
landscape area:
Comment:
The proposal complies with the requirements of the DCP.
Loss of privacy
Comment:
The screen planting along the northern boundary, as required by condition 4 of
DA147/03, has already been discussed in the report above.
The
existing ground floor bed room, which has doors opening on the existing side
deck, is proposed to be
included within the existing living room. Doors opening on the existing side deck are proposed
to be fixed so that activity from the living room does not spill out to the
existing side deck.
Loss of views:
Comment:
As discussed previously in the report the proposal is considered acceptable
with respect to view sharing principles.
First floor deck:
Comment:
The proposed first floor deck is 3.0m by 3.0m wide and has a privacy screen
towards the northern side. Furthermore, the deck is approximately 6.0m away
from the northern side boundary. It is considered that the proposed deck would
not impact upon the privacy of the adjoining properties.
Impact upon heritage Items.
Comment:
As discussed previously in the report, it is considered that the proposed
extension would not reduce the heritage significance of the adjoining heritage
items.
Section 79C (1) (e) - The
public interest.
The proposed development is
considered satisfactory with respect to design objectives and provisions under
Council’s Code for Dwelling Houses. The proposed development does not create
any major environmental impacts. Accordingly it is considered that the proposed
development is in the public interest.
CONCLUSION
The application has been assessed having regard to the relevant Planning
Instruments and Council controls, as well as public good and suitability of the
site. The proposal is considered to be satisfactory subject to the following

Heritage Advisor
The original proposal was referred to the
Council’s heritage advisor who stated that he was not opposed to a modern
design in this situation; however the proposal had potential to impose an
unacceptable impact on the neighbouring heritage item and streetscape.
The proposal was amended and the heritage
consultant, in relation to the amended proposal stated:
“…I believe what has been submitted is what we
should accept, subject to you being satisfied that Code requirements are
complied with.”
79 (C) (1) (a) the
provisions of any Environmental Planning Instrument
Lane Cove Local Environmental Plan 1987
The subject site is zoned
Low Density Residential 2 (a1) under the provisions of Lane Cove Local
Environmental Plan 1987. The proposal is
permitted with development consent of Council.
Draft Lane Cove Local
Environmental Plan 2008
There are no additional
provisions that need to be considered with respect to the draft LEP.
Lane Cove Code for Dwelling
Houses – September 2000
As
indicated in the policy compliance table and matters for consideration, with
the exception of the front building line setback, the proposal complies with
the code’s provisions and it is considered to achieve the objectives for each
provision.
Variations to Council’s
Codes/Policies
The
proposal does not comply with the provisions for the front building line
setback, however it is considered satisfactory on the following grounds:
The front setback of the external wall is 7.5m which is in accordance
with the requirements of the Dwelling House Code. The proposed front balcony
projects by 1.2m into the front building line. The width of the balcony is not
substantial as compared to the overall width of the building. It is considered
that the projection of the balcony would articulate the front building façade.
79C (1) (b) The likely impacts of that development,
including environmental impacts on both the natural and built environments, and
social and economic impacts in the locality.
It is considered that the
proposed development is unlikely to adversely impact on the residential amenity
of the locality. The proposed addition would be a flat roofed contemporary addition which
would not be in conflict with the adjoining heritage items. It is therefore considered that the proposed
development is unlikely to significantly impact on the streetscape and
adjoining and surrounding development.
Privacy
The
elevated portion of the side deck on the ground floor is not considered very
wide to be used for entertainment purposes and the wider portion of the deck is
very close to the natural ground level. The setback of the wider portion of the
side deck, close to the proposed laundry, shall be a minimum of 900mm from the
side boundary as a condition of consent.
Adequate
screen planting along the southern side boundary already exists to provide
reasonable privacy between the adjoining properties.
The
proposed first floor deck is 3.0m wide and has a privacy screen on its southern
side. The deck is approximately 5.0m away from the side boundary. It is
considered that the proposed deck would not significantly impact upon the
privacy of the adjoining properties. There
are no upper floor windows to living rooms which face south.
It is considered that a
reasonable level of privacy is maintained between the adjoining properties.
Overshadowing
The proposal presents an
acceptable level of overshadowing and is unlikely to significantly impact on
the level of solar access to adjoining developments. The shadow diagram
indicates that the proposed extension does not cast a shadow on the kitchen
window from 11.00am onwards. The private open space & the windows serving
habitable rooms in the adjoining dwelling house will receive 3 hours of
sunlight between 9am & 3pm and complies with the requirements of the DCP.
Heritage
The
proposed addition is a flat roofed contemporary addition which would be of a
contrasting character and not in conflict with of the existing heritage items.
It is considered that the proposed extension would not reduce the heritage
significance of the adjoining heritage items.
Section 79C (1) (c) - The
suitability of the site for the development
The proposal maintains the
residential use of the site. Accordingly the site is considered suitable with
respect to the proposed development.
Section 79C (1) (d) - Any
submissions made in accordance with this Act or Regulations.
The proposal was advertised
in accordance with Council’s policy of Community Consultation. One submission
was received.
From resident of 25
Glenview St.
Overshadowing
Comment: The shadow diagram
indicates that the proposed extension does not cast a shadow on the kitchen
window from 11.00am onwards. The windows serving habitable rooms in the
adjoining dwelling will receive 3 hours of sunlight between 9am & 3pm and
in this regard it is considered that solar access is to be retained in
accordance with the requirements of the DCP.
Privacy:
Comment: The elevated portion of the side deck on the
ground floor is not considered very wide to be used for entertainment purposes.
The wider portion of the deck is very close to the natural ground level.
Adequate Screen planting along the southern boundary already exists to provide
reasonable privacy between the adjoining properties.
Heritage
Comment:
It is considered that the proposed extension would not reduce the heritage
significance of the adjoining heritage items.
Section 79C (1) (e) - The
public interest.
The proposed development is
considered satisfactory with respect to design objectives and provisions under
Council’s Code for Dwelling Houses. The proposed development does not create
any major environmental impacts. Accordingly it is considered that the proposed
development is in the public interest.
CONCLUSION
The application has been assessed having regard to the relevant Planning
Instruments and Council controls, as well as public good and suitability of the
site. The proposal is considered to be satisfactory subject to the following
