PERMISSIBLE CHANGE REQUEST
Since the previous design was approved, the design has been changed to more closely reflect the
applicant’s true aspirations for the site and other recent developments within the local area. As a
result, a number of changes are proposed to the approved design and these are shown on the
submitted drawings, prepared by Harry Poulos Architects. It should be noted that the new design
continues to respect the key development parameters established by the previous approval including
site cover, setbacks and building height but for convenience, the key changes to each floor are
summarised below.

    Ground floor
    • The under croft has been extended and as such, the footprint of the building has been
                        2       2
       reduced from 170m to 127m .

    •        The pool has also been removed and replaced with landscaping.
        st
    1 Floor
    • The garage has been moved to the southern side of site and its width reduced to 6.3m. The
       length of the boundary wall of the garage has been reduced from 7.1m to 6.6m. The garage
       setback to the street has also been increased slightly to 6m.

    •        The clothes drying deck adjacent to the laundry has been deleted;

    •        The swimming pool has been added to the first floor terrace and the southern end of the
             terrace has been extended to the setback line between the two adjoining properties.

    •        Along the northern side of the property, the side boundary setbacks have been improved by
             the removal of the garage and the clothes drying area. The setbacks are compliant with
             Council requirements.

    •        Along the southern side of the property the setbacks have been varied to include a zero
             setback at the front of the site but the balance of the building is at least 2m from the side
             boundary. Although relocated, the relationship of the garage to the adjoining property is an
             improvement on the previous design.

    •        The site cover of this level remains at 40% of the total site area.

    Upper Floor
                                                             2      2
    • The size of the upper floor has been increased from 51m to 94m . The additional floor area
                       2
       replaces the 43m lost from the ground floor.

    •        The upper level is setback 6.3m from the street and the front elevation illustrates that the
             proposal will continue to be read as a two storey building from the street.

    •        The setback to the northern boundary has reduced slightly from 2.7m – 2.5m but is still
             compliant.

    •        The setback to the southern boundary complies with the 2.5m minimum requirement.

    •        A small roof terrace and roof gardens have been added at the rear of the bedroom. As the
             floor plan shows, the roof garden will wrap around the northern, southern and eastern sides of
             the terrace and as a result, it will be setback 1.84m, 5.5m and 2m from the respective edges of
             the roof. As the building is setback 2m from both side boundaries the roof terrace will be
             3.84m and 4m from the northern and southern boundaries respectively..
