MCU22.0101 - Applicant's Response · MCU22/0101

The location of the kitchen and amenity areas are restricted by the existing building’s design, and
configuration and location of existing infrastructures and services. The primary factors design limitations
being:

    •    The existing plumbing infrastructure which services the toilet amenities and building is located at the
         rear of the existing building, and

    •    The internal ceiling height of the existing building.

Shown in the photographs below is the location of the existing plumbing infrastructure (at the rear of the
building) and existing building height.




At the front of the existing building (old bank building) the ceiling height is approximately 4 metres high. The
existing toilets are located at the rear, as too is the plumbing infrastructure. The addition of a kitchen is limited
to the area at the rear of the building due to the location of the existing plumbing.

To locate the kitchen and food preparation area at the front of the building would be cost prohibitive due to
the ceiling height. Additionally, connecting the kitchen to the existing water and sewerage services would be
cost prohibitive as it would require cutting into the existing concrete slab to connect to the services at the
rear.

Hence, an extension to the rear of the existing building is proposed which allows for a much simpler, and
therefore, cost effective design and connection. The proposed design results in an outcome which does not
require unnecessary disturbance to the amenity of the adjoining tenancies by means of dust, odour and noise
associated with cutting concrete.
