type of development
The applicant seeks the following type of development approval:
Development Permit for Building Works (Detached House)
reasons for refusal
The application material submitted is not sufficient to properly assess the application.
The proposal does not comply with Probable Solution S1.1 of the Building Works Code as the storeroom/workshop and vehicle parking area is a building/structure within the front 6m setback.
The proposal does not comply with Specific Outcome O1 of the Building Works Code because the storeroom/workshop and vehicle parking area—
does not preserve any existing vegetation to screen the building/structure from neighbouring properties given it encompasses the majority of the front setback;
does not allow for landscaping between buildings; and
creates a hardstand area to more than 90% of the sites frontage which does not maintain the visual continuity and pattern of buildings in the street.
The proposal does not comply with Probable Solution S11.1 h) of the Building Works Code as the building is proposed greater than 8m above the natural and finished ground level and is 3 storeys.
The proposal does not comply with Specific Outcome O11 of the Building Works Code because the application has not demonstrated the —
building height indicated on the submitted plans is accurate;
development presents a building height consistent with buildings/structures in the surrounding area;
development will not create additional overlooking and negatively impact on the privacy of neighbouring properties or negatively affect neighbouring access to sunlight; and
development will not impede views from dwellings in the surrounding area.
The proposal has not demonstrated safe access to the proposed new vehicle parking area in accordance with Specific Outcome O4 of the Detached House Driveways Code, given that car parking is proposed for more than 90% of the frontage and access to the car parking area is across the road verge.
The new car parking area renders street parking in front of the development unusable and therefore reducing street parking unnecessarily
