Information Response

An analysis of the building footprint in the immediate locality, noting that some of the surrounding sites
were currently being utilised for commercial purposes. This included a search of the Council online
system and a detailed NearMap aerial photo review. Limited data was available on Council's online system
and it was not able to be determined when the development occurred.

As can be seen in the attached analysis, a total of 16 sites were reviewed (3 of which were commercial
and not applicable), 8 of which surrounding the development site have an approximate footprint ranging
from 0.43-0.52. The subject site proposes a plot ratio of 0.43:1 and a site cover of 40%, which is well
within the range that is consistent with the prevailing character of the locality and of a scale that is
compatible with surrounding development (as per the planning scheme Overall Outcome). What is clearly
evident from a desktop review is that the subject site is of a scale that is well within the established
realms in the local area.

Also attached is a full set of revised Proposal Plans confirming the maximum site cover is 40% (0.4) in
response to Item 1 above, and generous setback dimensions of the proposed extension from the
adjoining properties. The revised Engineering Plans and response letter confirms suitable onsite vehicle
access, parking and manoeuvrability.

In the context of the surrounding built form, compliance with the below overall outcomes are easily
achieved by the proposed development:

      ●   Development makes a positive contribution to the look and feel of residential neighbourhoods
          by maintaining a high quality, low scale character with well-designed buildings and landscaping
          that enhance the streetscape;
      ●   New uses are located, designed and managed to be compatible with surrounding uses.
      ●   Development maintains a high level of residential amenity having regard to traffic, noise, dust,
          odour, lighting and other locally-specific impacts;
      ●   In addition, Landscape Concept Plans have been prepared by Seed Landscape Design. A high
          quality landscaping outcome is achieved for the proposed development.

Item 3

Please provide amended plans that include RL levels showing the maximum building height
and natural ground level.

Response: Please refer to the revised Architectural Plans prepared by Hive Architecture. Additional
details have been provided on the Roof Plan and Sections to assist Council’s assessment.

Item 4

Provide a copy of the survey plan which has informed site levels/RL’s.

Response: Please refer to the attached Contour and Detail Plan prepared by Skyline Surveyors.

Item 5

Please provide amended plans which show a minimum 600 millimetre eave to at least 75%
of the perimeter of the building.

Response: Please refer to Drawing A.06.01 - Eaves Diagram, prepared by Hive Architecture, which
demonstrates a minimum 600mm eave to at least 75% of the perimeter of the building.
