6 The building is to be set in landscaped grounds with areas available to the front, side
and rear available for dense planting. The increase in site cover does not impact on
landscaping in any form.

As indicated above the proposed increase in site cover of the dwelling will not impact on the

established character of the area.

The dwelling maximises the north easterly aspect while

respecting the privacy of adjoining dwellings. Further due to the design of the building the building
presents a very open and transparent facade to the canal.

An assessment against the relevant section of the Detached House Code is also provided below:

 

 

Site cover

O7 The site cover of buildings and
other roofed structures—

a) is of a scale that is compatible with
Surrounding development;

5) does not present an appearance of
bulk to adjacent properties, roads or
other areas in the vicinity of the site;
c) maximises the retention of existing
vegetation and allows for soft
landscaping between buildings;

d) allows for adequate area at ground
level for outdoor recreation,
entertainment, clothes drying and other
site facilities; and

@) facilitates on-site stormwater
management and vehicular access.

$7.1 With the exception of Ancillary
Dwelling Units, the site cover of class 1
and class 10 buildings or structure
does not exceed—

a) for a single storey building - 50%; or
b) for a building of 2 or more storeys —
50% on the ground floor and 30% for
the upper storey(s), or 40% for all
storeys,

$7.2 if in the Eastern Beaches,
Noosaville, Noosa Heads or Noosa
North Shore Locality and in the
Detached Housing or Semi-attached
Housing Zone-soft landscaping is
provided and retained over a minimum
of 20% of the site area.

 

The applicant proposes site cover of
45.1% for the ground floor and 40.2% for
the second floor. The proposal complies
with the Overall Outcomes as detailed
below:

a) The proposed dwelling maintains a
domestic scale consistent with the
area. The applicant notes that prior to
the introduction of the Noosa Plan
dwellings within the surrounding area
where entitled to build to a maximum
site cover of 50%. Existing dwellings
and new dwellings have been
constructed to a site cover of 50%. Itis
this 50% coverage which has
established the ‘scale’ of development
in the area. The proposal will provide a
dwelling that is smaller than the scale
of development in the area.

b) The proposed dwelling has been
designed to provide a high level of
amenity for the owners of the site and
to the surrounding area. The dwelling
is a contemporary. The photomontage
included as part of the application
demonstrates that the dwelling is
consistent with the streetscape and
does not present an appearance of
bulk.

¢) The building is to be set In
landscaped grounds with areas
available to the front, side and rear
available for dense planting. Where
possible existing mature trees will be
retained at the front of the site. The
increased site cover at the upper level
has no impact on the landscaping.

d) A large outdoor living area has been
provided to the canal frontage with the
fagade of the dwelling setback 9.0
metres. This setback provides a
substantial living area to the north.

e) ‘Stormwater and vehicular access
are able to managed on site.
