Letter to NC - Response to Information Request

    “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




1. Provide an amended elevation which includes greater materiality and articulation of the
   design which includes a wider range of materials, applied finishes and colours.

Response:

The applicant has considered the request and made a design change to proposed Store Room
1 (refer Figure 1). To improve the façade presentation to Pelican Street, the applicant has
incorporated the original “Ironstone” coloured screens behind the planter boxes to further
break down the façade into finer scaled components that match the existing features of the
building. Landscaping has been integrated into the design in the form of three separate planter
boxes, as shown in Figure 1.

The development including the change provides for a well-articulated design that provides for
horizontal and vertical elements and an interesting streetscape1. The proposed development
complies with all Acceptable Outcomes (AO21.1-AO2.4) relevant to this issue under the District
Centre Zone Code and therefore complies with the performance outcome. Further, streetscape
improvements have been provided to enhance the character and amenity of the street,
including the three planter boxes and screens, which could incorporate some vertical planting2.

The development is located within the District Centre Zone and is intended for commercial
development. The proposed changes to the built form are well removed from the street
frontage. The changes being made to the current façade are minor with no changes made to
the existing roof, with a roof overhang provided and the built form remains articulated (refer
Site Plan – Attachment 1).
