homes particularly where views of the ocean are available. Provision is made for unit
accommodation in one location to the east of David Low Way.

The current proposal relates to a contemporary two storey house which will appear
light weight and support the open space and coastal locality of the area. The building
will be constructed of a range of materials complimenting existing houses in the
street. The proposal will maintain existing vegetation where possible and will have no
adverse impacts upon the adjoining properties.

Detached Housing Zone

Built Form

1. For buildings and other structures—

a) the maximum wall length is 15m; and

b) each external wall plane incorporates at least one design
element to add visual interest and amenity such as windows,
pergolas, sun shading devices, balconies or a change of building
material.(See Figure 7.1 which illustrates how a combination of
design features such as varying materials, finishes, horizontal
and vertical articulation, break up building bulk and create
interest and shadow lines. Awnings create interest and the roof
profile aims to reduce building bulk by sloping to perimeter
gutters).

The proposed dwelling does not incorporate an individual wall length greater than
15m and each external wall plane incorporates at least one design element to add
visual interest and amenity such as windows, pergolas, sun shading devices,
balconies or a change of building material.

2. The main entrance of the building faces and is recognisable from the street;
The entrance to the dwelling will be clearly recognisable from the street.
Garages and carports

1. Garages and carports are designed and sited to visually integrate with the
building and avoid dominating the street.

The proposed garage will be located under the existing dwelling to ensure it will not
dominate the street. It is considered that this solution is consistent within the area and
assists in reducing the overall bulk of the dwelling.
