                 PO20 Development on sloping sites:
                 a) is visually responsive to the natural topography and sits within the landscape rather than
                    dominating it;
                 b) steps down slopes or uses suspended floor construction, minimising cut or fill and
                    avoiding benching of the site;
                 c) retains natural vegetation that assists in screening or visually softening development; and
                 d) uses materials, finishes and colours that complement the natural setting and integrate
                    with the landscape and skyline.


                 Information Required
                 1.     The more elevated central area of the building form (below) is a prominent portion of the
                        dwelling which conflicts with providing roof lines which are parallel with the natural
                        contours of the land and the height of the surrounding landscape.
                 2.     Amend the design to more successfully respond to PO20 of the Low Density Residential
                        zone code to be visually responsive to the natural topography and to ensure it sits within
                        the landscape rather than dominating it.




                 Issue – Building size and local prominence
                 The submitted planning assessment report outlines that the proposed dwelling is of a similar
                 scale to the existing dwelling (to be removed) and is approximately 850m² in gross floor area
                 (GFA).
                 The proposed dwelling results in a building which is significantly larger than the existing
                 dwelling with the GFA substantially exceeding the maximum building GFA of 500m² stated
                 under AO8.2 of the Low Density Residential zone code.
                 In this instance the mass and bulk of the dwelling house (approximately 57metres in length
                 and 37 metres in depth) will be a noticeable feature of the area. Removal of areas of
                 established site vegetation and placement of the building extending toward the eastern side
                 of the lot results in a dwelling which will be noticeable from the surrounding area and
                 beachfront and conflicts with AO8.2.

PO20 Development on sloping sites:

a) is visually responsive to the natural topography and sits within the landscape rather than
dominating it;

b) steps down slopes or uses suspended floor construction, minimising cut or fill and
avoiding benching of the site;

c) retains natural vegetation that assists in screening or visually softening development; and

d) uses materials, finishes and colours that complement the natural setting and integrate
with the landscape and skyline.

Information Required

1. The more elevated central area of the building form (below) is a prominent portion of the
dwelling which conflicts with providing roof lines which are parallel with the natural
contours of the land and the height of the surrounding landscape.

2. | Amend the design to more successfully respond to PO20 of the Low Density Residential
zone code to be visually responsive to the natural topography and to ensure it sits within
the landscape rather than dominating it.

 

Issue — Building size and local prominence

 

The submitted planning assessment report outlines that the proposed dwelling is of a similar
scale to the existing dwelling (to be removed) and is approximately 850m? in gross floor area
(GFA).

The proposed dwelling results in a building which is significantly larger than the existing
dwelling with the GFA substantially exceeding the maximum building GFA of 500m? stated
under AO8.2 of the Low Density Residential zone code.

In this instance the mass and bulk of the dwelling house (approximately 57metres in length
and 37 metres in depth) will be a noticeable feature of the area. Removal of areas of
established site vegetation and placement of the building extending toward the eastern side
of the lot results in a dwelling which will be noticeable from the surrounding area and
beachfront and conflicts with AO8.2.
