8.3.7   OVERALL OUTCOMES FOR THE DETACHED HOUSE CODE

The overall outcomes sought by the Detached House Code are to ensure that
detached houses—
a) only occur on land that is suited for the intended form of development and the
occupation and use of the building and site by the residents.
b) are only developed on land which is not located in the vicinity of land uses—
i which would adversely impact the occupation and use of buildings and the site by
the residents; or
ii which would result in the residential development preventing or inhibiting the
conduct of existing land uses.
c) are attractive and consistent with the developed character of the particular
neighbourhood;
d) retain the natural landscape character and visual quality of hill slopes and
ridgelines;
e) offer high levels of amenity, safety and security for the occupants;
f) have an adequate supply of water;
g) where not in a sewerage service area, effluent disposal systems are designed and
sited to minimise adverse effects on the environment; and
h) avoid adverse impacts on environmental values including environmentally
sensitive areas


Comments:
Despite the zoning, the subject property is considered to be land that is a suitable
and attractive location for residents to live.

The detached housing on the subject property will not be adversely impacted on nor
will it inhibit any existing land uses of adjoining properties as they are all used for
residential purposes.

The architectural style of the proposed housing has not been developed but the
particular neighbourhood is a newly developing area and does not contain any
heritage housing.

The subject property has an adequate supply of water and is serviced by sewerage
infrastructure.

The subject property does not contain any environmentally sensitive areas.
