MCU21 0146 Stockwell_Information Request Response Letter · MCU21/0146

Please refer to attached architectural response and amended architectural drawings and
renders.

4, lssue

Details of vegetation removal have not been provided. Several of the relevant codes require
the development to maximise the retention of mature vegetation.

Information Required
4. Provide details of vegetation that is proposed to be retained and removed as part of a
vegetation survey.

Response

All tempts to retain vegetation have been made through design and infrastructure
considerations. The 10mtr area between the rear boundary and the development will be
retained as a visual buffer as noted on the attached drawing.

Whilst it was hoped to retain further vegetation within the recreational area, the
stormwater solution has achieved the best possible environmental response. Underground
tanks were considered but would have prevented any deep plant being achieved along with
loss of vegetation across most of the recreational area. The proposed solution will allow for
deep plant as part of the landscape design.

Refer to attached Survey for areas to be cleared and updated Landscape Concept plan.

5. Issue

The development includes a swale drain and bio retention basins within the land zoned
Environmental Management and Conservation. Development that involves the removal of
vegetation within this zone is not supported.

Information Required

5. Amend the plans to ensure the development (and associated infrastructure) is not
located within the land zoned Environmental Management and Conservation.

Response

Stormwater infrastructure has been redesigned to comply with proposed Covenant J with
no impact to this area. A 10mtr visual buffer of vegetation will be retained along the rear of
the site except for a short area required for stormwater treatment. Please refer to attached
updated drawings and engineer's cover letter and updated report.

6, Issue

As the land is located within the Centre zone the Planning Scheme does not require visitor
parking, however 48 motorcycle parking spaces are required (at a rate of 1 space per 2
dwellings). Given that visitor parking spaces will be required at the development in a practical
sense, 48 motorcycle spaces are required but none are proposed, and that 4 motorcycle
spaces are equivalent to 1 parking bay, it is considered reasonable to require that the
development provide 12 visitor parking bays on the site in total.

Information Required

6. Amend the plans to include a minimum of 12 visitor car parking spaces
Response

Plans have been amended to include 12 visitor car parking bays as requested.
