Minor Change Report 51983 3225 18 · 51983.3225.18

               Lot 18
               The proposed dwelling is setback 1.0m from the northern boundary on all levels and from 4.9m to
               5.4m to the dwelling on Lot 18. Lot 18 contains the dwelling approved under the origianl 1983
               approval, which is setback approximately 4.4m from the common boundary (3.9m to the eave).
               The dwelling on Lot 16 is proposed to be a minimum of 5.4m from the southern façade of the Lot
               18 dwelling, and as such is considered to be sufficienly setback to allow for adequate access to
               light and ventilation.
               The proximity to the dwelling on Lot 18 may result in overlooking. As such, a condition is included
               in the recommendation requiring mitigation of any overlooking from windows located on the
               northern facade of the dwelling into habitable windows or private open space of dwellings on Lot
               17 and/or Lot 18.
               The proposed setback is therefore supported, subject to reasonable privacy conditions.
               Eastern Setback
               The eastern setback adjoins Lot 15, which was redeveloped in 2017 with a 3 storey + roof terrace
               dwelling. The proposed dwelling is setback from 0.0m – 1.2m from the eastern boundary and from
               0.6m to 1.8m to the adjoining dwelling on Lot 15. It is noted that, excluding the built to boundary
               ground floor garage, the setbacks to the upper levels of the dwelling, at between 1.0m - 1.2m, are
               substantially greater than the 0.6m setback of the Lot 15 dwelling to the common boundary on all
               levels.
               The proposed setback will not result in impacts on privacy, noting the limited window opening on
               these elevations (refer to Figure 11) and proposed screening on the eastern elevation. Additionally,
               the proposal includes batten screening along the eastern side of the roof terrace, preventing
               overlooking into the Lot 15 roof terrace, which also includes screening for a majority of the western
               façade.
               It is noted that the built to boundary garage does not allow for vegetation to be provided along this
               boundary, however the QDC allows built to boundary garages for dwellings. Additionally, the
               existing setback of Lot 15, at 0.6m, already limits the ability for meaningful landscaping to be
               provided in this location.
               Given the reduced setback of 0.6m on the adjoining property, the 1.0m+ setbacks on the proposal
               are considered to be consistent with or greater than the predominant character of the existing
               development on site, and are therefore supported.
