Subject Site and Surrounding Area
The subject site is a regular-shaped allotment with a frontage to Ferrells Road of 20.326 metres. The
site’s north boundary adjoins a rear allotment (104 Ferrells Road) with an access driveway traversing the
the northern boundary. The site contains a few sporadically located trees, with the more densely
vegetated parts being along the south and west boundaries of the site. As demonstrated in Figure 1
below, the site was improved by an existing Dwelling House, which has recently been demolished to
accommodate the proposed new Dwelling.

Proposal Overview
The proposed new Dwelling, associated outbuilding (cottage) and tennis court are illustrated within the
Building Design Plans prepared by Reitsma in Attachment 1. As shown in Figure 2 below, the Dwelling
House is proposed to be established on the elevated (south) part of the site, in a similar position to the
recently demolished dwelling house. Rock retaining has been proposed around a section of the driveway,
dwelling house, shed and water tanks. The rock retaining creates additional stability for the site and
proposed buildings, while ensuring the proposed earthworks and retaining reflect the site rural
character. The built form generally steps down with the slope of the site, being constructed into the
landform and retaining much of the existing ground level surrounding the building.
