                  = 32,472m2          = 32,472m2
In terms of built form, the majority of the sites for each dwelling are 13 metres wide by 21 metres
in depth whilst approximately 100 of the sites are 14 x 21 metres, representing an area of
approximately 273m2 and 294m2 respectively. It is proposed to construct a 3 bedroom dwelling on
each site with each dwelling type having a maximum width and length as follows:
Type 1: 12.6 x 17.1 metres
Type 2: 13.5 x 17.1 metres
Type 3: 13 x 17.4 metres
The above tables demonstrates the proposal is generally consistent with the built form parameters
associated with a retirement and special needs facility within the Community Services and Semi-
Attached Housing zones with the exception of site cover, landscaping, the height of the facilities
building and car parking. The site cover exceedance relates to the Semi-Attached Housing Zone
which is exceeded by approximately 8%.
Due to the significant site cover it is evident that the proposal will result in buildings being built in
very close proximity to each other with little opportunity for meaningful landscaping to be provided
between buildings or within the access driveways.
This will result in an appearance of continual built form and a ‘sea of roofs’ when viewed externally.
The limited opportunity for meaningful landscaping is not environmentally sustainable as minimal
shading will be provided to the dwellings and will result in increased dependence on mechanical
ventilation. It is also noted that the significant height and scale of the facilities building is likely to
result in the building being a dominant feature in the rural and open space landscape.
Whilst it is acknowledged that a retirement and special needs development may result in a different
built form outcome to other forms of residential development, the current proposal is not consistent
