Negotiated Report (Representations made) 132008 176 05 (As Published)

               Existing Condition 7
               7. The ground level must be reinstated around the basement level to ensure no part of which is
               more than 1 metre above ground level, apart from the driveway entrance.
               Applicant’s Request
               The applicant submits that the condition refers to a singular driveway entrance, whereas there are
               two driveway entrances. In addition, the applicant seeks clarification to avoid any uncertainty
               around what constitutes a basement, given that basement is only applicable in this instance to
               determining building height.
               The applicant has requested existing condition 7 be amended and replaced with the following
               amended condition:
               7.   For those parts of the building where there are 4 storeys above basement, the ground level
               must be reinstated around the basement level to ensure no part of which is more than 1 metre
               above ground level, apart from the driveway entrances.
               Assessment of Request
               The applicant’s submission is not totally correct. Building height relates to height in metres and
               storeys, with a basement excluded from being defined as a storey where the ceiling is not more
               than 1 metre above ground. However, a basement can be assessed as site cover where it is
               partially above ground and not used for carparking. The proposal plans indicate extensive
               basement areas that are required to backfilled and the condition should be retained to ensure that
               the building complies with height and site cover requirement. No objection is raised to referencing
               multiple driveways.
               Recommendation
               It is recommended existing condition be amended to read as follows:
               7. The ground level must be reinstated around the basement level to ensure no part of which is
               more than 1 metre above ground level, apart from the driveway entrances.


               Existing Condition 17
               17. External finishes of the building must be a mix of lightweight and textured external finishes,
               with masonry areas incorporating a variety of textured finishes to break up the surface.
               Applicant’s Request
               The applicant submits:
               To ensure there is no uncertainty with this condition it is requested the condition be amended to
               reference the approved plans, which are understood to comprise a suitable mix of lightweight and
               textured external finishes.
               The applicant has requested existing condition 17 be amended and replaced with the following:
               17. External finishes of the building must be a mix of lightweight and textured external finishes,
               with masonry areas incorporating a variety of textured finishes to break up the surface, as detailed
               on the approved plans.
               Assessment of Request
               No objection is raised to the request
               Recommendation
