Town Planning Assessment Report · MCU22/0121

    The proposed development complies with the Overall Outcomes of the Landscaping Code in
    that the proposal refurbishes and reinvigorates a former car yard site and would:
        + integrates landscaping into its design in the form of potted plants and street trees and
            ensures that building and structures sit within the landscape rather than dominating it;
        + the andscaping is consistent with the existing vegetated character and landscape of
            Maple Street;
        + The development retains, reinforces and enhances existing vegetation, including by
            protecting mature street trees along Maple Street;
        + The landscaping creates aesthetically pleasing, safe, comfortable and functional
            environments in which people live, work and visit; and
        + The development utilises natural materials such as timber which complement the
            landscaped setting.



 Driveways and Parking Code

 The proposed use would trigger one carparking space to be provided in accordance with Table
 9.4.2.4 of the Driveways and Parking Code.

 Providing an onsite car parking space would require the removal on street parking and a street
 tree within the verge. The installation of a driveway crossover would also impact on the character
 value of the street frontage. Consequently, a carparking dispensation is sought for one parking
 space is sought in this instance.

 Given the limited operation of the use, being Thursdays and Sundays between the hours of 11am
 and 7:00pm, it is considered that sufficient parking is provided with the immediate area to
 accommodate the demand generated by the use.



 Other Works Codes

 The site is capable of being service all standard urban infrastructure including reticulated water,
 sewer, electricity, telecommunications, and stormwater. However, given the limited operation of
 the use, connection to water, sewer and telecommunications is not necessary. The use is,
 however, connected to electricity infrastructure.

 In relation to stormwater drainage, the entire site comprises of an impervious surface, which has
 been an historical circumstance since the establishment of a car yard on the property. Stormwater
 sheet flows to the boundaries on the site. The proposed use will have no impact on the existing
 drainage regime on the site.
