RAL20/0020 Reconfiguration of a Lot: Response to Information Request – Report                     10




                     •     TC-1209B(L)




                 •       W8-17-2B (300m)




4.1.2.3 Site access: Lot 158 MCH1321 (non-existing)
The existing property Lot 158 MCH1321 is currently inaccessible due to the poor extent and
position of frontage. As shown in the Figure below, the limited 52m frontage is grade-
separated from the roadway by a 4m high cut embankment and vegetation. Any driveway
through cut would be of such depth that no viable alignment would be able to pass the ‘throat’
created between the dwellings on adjacent Lots 429 and 49, beyond which there is also no
viable driveway down the hillside due to its steepness. The limited sight distance to outbound
traffic from this access location would also be unacceptable.
The boundary alignment of Lot 158 should not have been allowed, as the inaccessibility
violates the owner’s common property rights. Alleviating this problem is one of the compelling
objectives of the proposed Reconfiguration of Lots.
