Proposed Eastern Elevation


Item 4:            Roof-top terrace

Applicant’s Response:

Council appears to be concerned that there will be an ability to overlook into windows in existing adjoining dwellings from
the proposed roof-top terrace. The following need to be appreciated if Council is to further consider such a concern:-

    (a) The roof top terrace proposed a roof garden on all sides other than the side where there is a hatched stair
        access. The roof garden will be planted with shrubs that provide a visual screen.
    (b) There is a solid parapet wall around all sides of the propose roof-top terrace to at least handrail level.
    (c) Existing surrounding buildings incorporate eaves between that building and the subject lot and these eaves are
        pitched as a projection of the steeply pitched roof of these surrounding buildings. As such these existing eaves
        provide a screen to windows in adjoining dwellings from available observation locations above on the proposed
        roof-top terrace.
    (d) As a result of the above it will not be possible for people on the proposed roof top terrace to view into windows
        in adjoining dwellings.


The applicant has now responded to Council’s notice for this change application and therefore requests that Council
completes its assessment of this application.
