RE: Proposed Dwelling for Jeremy & Elizabeth Maycock at
No: 4 (LOT 407) Piper Street, PEREGIAN BEACH - (our Drawing Number:2244-PR2).

Dear Sir/Madam,

Our clients wish to demolish the existing 2 storey 4 bedroom dwelling at the above address and
build a new 2 storey, 4 bedroom dwelling with a basement carpark in its place. We wish to apply
for boundary relaxation’s as documented on the plans we have provided (Good Building Design
“Preliminary Drawings “ Drawing Number 2244-PR2) and ask that you would consider the
following reasons for the proposed boundary relaxations:-

14. We are seeking to have the setbacks from the front property boundary relaxed in order to be’.
sympathetic to the needs of the rear boundary setbacks required under councils Coastal

rotection Area overlay. Considering the factors of a generous existing footpath width with a
large retained earth bank and the reduction in setback from that of the existing dwelling, to the
proposed dwelling we believe that we have appropriately reduced overall bulk. The portions that
encroach on the setback are predominantly open structures and roof overhangs incorporated to
further add articulation to the front fascade (volume of encroachments is 9m3 and a plan area of
10.2m2 approx. against existing dwelling of 46m3 and 12.9m2 approx. respectively). The new
dwelling design has sought to improve the line of sight to the entry and provides a clear point of
access addressing the street offering protection for pedestrians. The added benefit of the new
dwelling is also evident in the significantly reduced setback to the garage (proposed garage
setback is 8.1m against an existing setback of 5.2m). In order to maximise the potential ocean
views, finished floor levels have been pushed to their maximum. This has been done by
reducing footprint and using vertical space for the dwelling. As the dwelling is under the 8.0m
height limit its scale and mass is actually somewhat reduced compared to a 3 storey building
and the neighbouring dwellings due to the location of the basement level. Its street elevations
have not consumed all the the space that a comparable 2 storey dwelling could potentially
occupy.
