4.1      Assessment
The dwelling house itself being the main bulk of the development complies with the provisions of the
Code, however the extrinsic element of the patio seeks a minor variation to the Low Density
Residential Zone Code AO9.1 and the consideration of a secondary driveway. The relevant
Performance Outcome is provided below for reference and assessment.

Setback
PO9
Buildings and structures are designed and sited to:
    a) provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site and adjoining premises, including
        provision of visual and acoustic privacy and access to sunlight;
    b) not unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or habitable
        areas of adjoining premises;
    c) provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses;
    d) preserve existing vegetation that will help buffer development;
    e) allow for space and landscaping to be provided between buildings including adequate area
        at ground level for landscaping with trees, shrubs and outdoor living;
    f) be consistent with the predominant character of the streetscape; and
    g) protect the natural character and avoid adverse impacts on ecologically important areas such
        as national parks, waterways and wetlands.


The dual frontage site seeks for a setback to one road frontage for a single storey lightweight
structure. The structure covers an outdoor dining area and is in the same location to the existing
covered structure within the Landrail St 6m front setback.

The proposal is consistent with existing setback of the building and the dwelling across the road on
the corner of Oriole Ave and Landrail St. The proposal seeks to plant new street trees along Landrail
St to provide for vegetation to buffer the built form. The design is sympathetic to the characteristics
of the site and provides for a high level of amenity to users of the site, with the outdoor living area
connecting living areas to outdoor spaces located away from the prevailing coastal winds.
There are no impacts to the streetscape or adjoining premises consistent with the relevant
Performance Outcomes of the Low Density Residential Zone Code.


Driveway Location
PO14
Driveways and crossovers are located so they do not impede the safe and efficient use of the road
network

The existing site includes an existing secondary driveway to Oriole Ave and Landrail Street. The
proposal seeks to keep the locations of the existing driveways and allow for an additional carparking
space. The proposal seeks to use the existing crossovers and are located as far away as practical
from the tangent point of the intersection. The driveways do not interfere with existing infrastructure
and the proposal is for a similar scale dwelling house for the site.
