4.   JUSTIFICATION


Following is an extract from the Detached Housing Code with respect to the items of non-compliance
identified previously and justification supporting the minor discretions sought.

Setbacks


Given the subject site adjoins an Open Space Corridor within the Coastal Protection Area, the rear
boundary setback is stipulated as 6 metres. The upper level pool and deck cantilever into this setback
by approximately 2 metres. Roofing and screening elements of the proposed dwelling encroach into the
front 6 metre setback by approximately 2 metres. The following points are considered to be of
relevance when assessing this relaxation:
     •   the small size of the subject site (531m), coupled with the increased boundary setback creates a
         constrained area in which to establish a dwelling;
     •   the recently approved adjoining residences (8 & 4 Piper Street) both project into the front and
         rear setbacks, with the proposed dwelling closely mirroring the setbacks of the recently
         approved 8 Piper Street (refer Site PIanSD1.1);
