Response to Information Request · 132001.210239.2

Issue – Driveway

Council has concerns with the existing driveway, the proposed driveway works and the existing bin
enclosure. The existing driveway does not appear to comply with the 132001.210239 approved plans
(approximately 7.5m wide at the boundary). The existing and proposal plans indicate a driveway of
approximately 10.5m at the boundary.
It is also noted that:
 i.     retaining walls exist and are proposed in the road reserve and
ii.     the bin enclosure stands partially within the road reserve and partially within the adjacent
        reserve area.

Information Required

      1. Confirm how the dwelling house extensions will be accessed i.e., additional driveway, parking
         area or whether the existing driveway and parking area is to be utilised. Should a new
         driveway, parking area be proposed please reflect on the site plan.

      2. Provide evidence that the existing driveway, retaining walls and bin store have the relevant
         approvals.
      3. Provide additional detail (dimensions material etc) on the works proposed to the driveway and
         the adjacent retaining walls.
      4. Provide detail to demonstrate the need for the retaining structures in the road reserve and
         demonstrate that the walls will not impact on the necessary sight lines for vehicles exiting the
         driveway.

Response

No new driveways, retaining walls or works within the road reserve are proposed.
