Setbacks
The dwelling is sited in accordance with the Building Approval providing a setback of
between 3.3m and 6m to Main Street. The Building Approval was unlawfully issued because
this setback distance does not comply with the Acceptable Solution, which requires a 6m
setback to street frontages. The encroaching part of the building is triangular in shape and is
shown in Figure 3 below.




Figure 3 – The red line shows the 6m setback and the purple outline shows the extent of the
encroachment.
