Issue – Roof Design – Response to AO 7.3
AO7.3 of the Cooroy Local Plan Code provides guidance on preferred roof form. From
review of the proposal there may be scope to incorporate decorative gables as shown in
Figure AP3-6B- Heritage Design. These additional design features would be particularly
helpful in improving the design response and reducing the bulk of the roof to Myall Street
and Maple Street, while integrating/responding to the existing built form character of the
precinct.
Information Required
5.   Amend plans to incorporate decorative gables, particularly along the Maple Street and
     Myall Street frontages.
Issue – Maple Street Elevation
The Maple Street interface is of key significance and visibility. The 1.5 metre-wide setback
between the northern-most dwelling and the shared boundary with 3/5 Myall Street does not
meet AO19.1 of the Community Facilities Zone Code (requiring a 3 metre setback), nor does
the concept landscape plan demonstrate the proposal can meet PO11 of the Dual
Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code, specifically seeking landscaping that reduces the
bulk and scale of development. It is unclear whether the entirety of the 1.5 metre setback is
dedicated to landscaping, or whether there is intended to be a footpath or similar, which
would effectively reduce the planting opportunities along this interface.
Further, the sight lines into the site as viewed from Maple Street off the internal accessway
should be given further attention to improve how the development is viewed from the street
and whether meaningful landscaping can be incorporated along this interface to soften the
built form and extensive hard-paved surfacing that dominates the sight lines.
