Delegated Report - Code - Planning MCU20 0021 [As Published]

                                              2m plus 0.5m for every 3m above 7.5m height or part thereof
                      Rear:                   6m
               The proposed development includes balcony/deck structures on the upper level setback only 1.5
               metres in lieu of 2 metres; garages (rear of the buildings) are proposed with a 4.5 metre setback
               in lieu of 6 metres; and powder coated aluminium pergolas are proposed over each of the four
               entry gates.
               The corresponding Specific Outcome O4 states:
                      Buildings and other structures—
                      a) are low rise and present a building height consistent with structures on adjoining and
                      surrounding land;
                      b) have a maximum building height of 2 storeys;
                      c) do not visually dominate the street, surrounding spaces or the existing skyline;
                      d) preserve the amenity of surrounding land including access to sunlight;
                      e) respect the scale of surrounding vegetation; and
                      f) respond to the topography of the site and minimise cut and fill (eg. by stepping down the
                      slope or using suspended floor construction, for sloping sites).
               Deck/Balcony – Upper Level
               The proposed deck/balcony areas on the upper level side elevations of the buildings occupy the
               roof area of the dining areas below. The balustrading of the deck/balcony areas is 5 metres in
               height and is located within the 1.5 metre side boundary, in lieu of 2 metres (figure 8).




                                        Figure 8 – Proposed Balcony/Deck 1.5m Setbacks
               The proposed setback encroachment of the balcony/deck balustrading has the potential to
               negatively impact the amenity of the residents of the adjoining properties by allowing the viewing
               area at 1.5 metres in lieu of the required 2 metre setback. The proposed setback exacerbates the
               potential for overlooking that can occur on upper level decks and subsequently may negatively
               impact on the privacy of the residents of the adjoining property.
