Response to Information Request

parking is to be provided, which means that the vehicles from clients will not be parked in Juniper Court.
It should also be noted that the dwellings at 14, 16 and 18 Juniper Court also have substantial vegetation
at the frontage, which acts as a substantial buffer to Juniper Court.

Attached are 4 letters of support from residents in the locality who have stated that they have no
objection to the proposal. A copy of the letters is provided as Attachments A, B, C & D. It is noted that
1 of the letters of support is from the adjoining property owner at 18 Juniper Court.

Conclusion

The proposed development is for a Home Based Business – Type 2 Evident. The proposed development
will have a maximum of 4 persons on site at any time utilizing a total floor area of 50m² of the detached
house. The hours of operation are to be from 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday and excluding public
holidays. A total of 4 carparking spaces are to be provided on the site and any proposed signage will
not exceed 0.3m² in area.

At any one time the proposed development will have a maximum 4 persons on site associated with the
business, but mostly this will be 3 persons, with the exception of 2 half days per week. This is entirely
consistent with definition for a Home Based Business - Type 2 Evident and therefore must be consistent
with acceptable solution S45.1(b). This is also consistent with S49.1, which requires 4 carparking spaces
to be provided.

If there is any doubt about the number of persons allowed on site with the business at any one time,
this is clarified by the proposed amendments to the relevant provisions under the Business Uses Code.
The proposed amendment confirms that 4 persons associated with the business are able to attend the
site at any time, which is the case with this proposal.

Having regard to the nature and scale of the use, the only source of impact upon the amenity of the
area is from the additional traffic generation. The proposed development on average will generate 2
additional vehicle movements every half hour, which is not significant. As a worst case scenario, the
business will generate 2 additional vehicle movements every 15 minutes, but only for 2 half days
(separate) during the week.

It is expected that on average 12 patrons will attend the site daily, which is currently the case. This level
of traffic is not significant and will not adversely impact upon the amenity of the area. In fact the level
of traffic generation will be marginally greater than some Home Based Business Type 1 uses, such as a
hairdresser, which is a self assessable use in the Detached Housing Zone.

The proposed development is for a consistent, code assessable use, that meets all of the probable
solutions under 14.20 Type 2 Evident of the Business Uses Code. Consequently, the proposed
development meets the relevant specific outcomes when having regard to the intent of the planning
scheme. The proposed development will not have a significant impact upon the amenity of the locality
and should be supported.
